If you have an oversize model that is taller than the original EZ Balancer
will reach, you have two options. First, you can mount the Aluminum cross piece on top of the wood base rather than on the
bottom as shown in the manual. Second, if you have a truly unusually tall model, you can block up under the wood base
with scraps of wood, or anything high enough to achieve the height desired. The All New
All Aluminum EZ Balancer II is 3" taller than the original, so height should not be an issue. But, if
in fact you do have that truly rare model with an unusually tall gear, you can now order our new EZ Balancer II "Super Size" kit.
If you have a model that has an unusually wide fuselage such as a very large scale Gee Bee and it won't fit between the
uprights of the original EZ Balancer, don't despair. The answer is very
simple. Take a 1" x 4" or a 2" x 4" that is slightly wider than your fuselage and bolt it to the wood base of the balancer.
Now, simply bolt on the upright assembly to the wood adaptor utilizing the aluminum angles. The All New
All Aluminum EZ Balancer II is much wider than the original and is 18" between the uprights. I cannot
think of any models that this will not handle including some of the new 50% scale models. If in fact you do have a model that
exceeds the new design, we have a modification that can handle it with ease. Just contact us.
If you have the original EZ Balancer, don't forget that you can
balance a model inverted as well as upright. We know that some will say that the gear will tend to swing the model off balance,
but that will not occur when the model is within the C.G. range. The All New All Aluminum
EZ Balancer II has been designed to accomodate most high wing and biplane models in the upright position.
But, if something does interfere, there is no problem with balancing the model inverted.
If your model manufacturer only shows the C.G. location at the wing tips, the solution
is simple. Assemble the wing halves onto the wing tube off the fuselage, lay the assembly on a clean work bench and run
a string from wing tip to wing tip at the location desired. Now, you can mark the location of the C.G. at the root of the
wings. We recommend using a fine line tape if you don't want to make a permanent mark on the wings. See the picture below!
