Great Planes C.G. Precision Aircraft Balancer
Accurate balancing makes trainers more stable, low-wings
more agile, and pylon planes move at maximum speed. The
innovative C.G. Machine helps you achieve optimum balance
easily, without measuring or marking–and without the errors
that fingertip balancing can cause. You'll quickly pinpoint your
plane's exact center of gravity. Then you'll know at a glance
whether weight should be added, removed or relocated. The
C.G. Machine works with kits and ARF models of any size and
wingspan. Its slanted wire balancing posts support models
weighing up to 40 pounds. GPMR2400
Top Flite MonoKote ® Covering
With all of MonoKote's advantages, no wonder it's been the
#1 choice of kit builders for over 25 years! Over 50 high-
gloss, cloud-free colors give you endless creative options.
Stronger and thicker than most films, MonoKote helps you
avoid rips and heat damage during application – yet it's also
flexible enough to conform easily to curves and contours.
And once applied, MonoKote stays in place with a firm,
fuelproof grip. Its permanently bonding adhesive formula
prevents nitro from sneaking under the seams, which keeps
your beautiful covering job intact, season after season!
Top Flite ® Powerpoint ®
Lighter than maple props of the same size, these
fuelproofed beechwood props reduce rotational mass,
letting your engine produce more power with less work.
Wood construction also makes Power Point props stiffer
Wood Propellers
than nylon, so they perform predictably throughout the full
RPM range. Their symmetric pitch reduces prop vibration
and boosts thrust at any RPM – a top choice for all fliers.

Great Planes AccuThrow
One leading cause of crashes is flying an airplane with its
control throws set differently from those recommended in the
instructions. The Great Planes AccuThrow lets you quickly and
easily measure actual throws first, so you can make necessary
corrections before you fly. Large, no-slip rubber feet provide a
firm grip on covered surfaces without denting or marring the
finish. Spring tension holds AccuThrow's plastic ruler steady by
each control surface. Curved to match control motions, the ruler
provides exact readings in both standard or metric
measurements. GPMR2405
Great Planes Slot Machine
You probably dread cutting hinge slots...for one project, the
job can take over an hour! With the electric-powered Slot
Machine, you'll safely and easily cut all of your kit's hinge
slots in only about 10 minutes. The sawing action of its two
blades cuts through wood — even hard spots — without
gouging or compressing it like knife blades do. The result is
a clean, consistent slot with room for CA to wick all around
and form a dependable bond. The Slot Machine comes fully
assembled with two pre installed, replaceable blades and a
rugged plastic body. U.S. Pat. 6,096,357. GPMR4010
