General Pitch Gauge

[bigone5500]

I bought a pitch gauge from amazon and the stupid thing didn't work. I tried different batteries in it and nothing. It was a YooCoo or something. I guess all of them are about the same right? What's a dependable brand?

That is a clone of the Align gauge that I have. I absolutely love mine! Check them out.

I use RC Logger 2, but the Align gauge is good too.

 

[bigone5500]

Thanks. I'll check those out.

Yeah, it looks the same as the Align one. The Align gauge is ok and works well enough but is quite sensitive to even the tiniest vibration so the digits tend to hunt slightly. You maybe just got a bad one, that can happen with any brand.

 

[bigone5500]

I'll probably just get another cheap one.

The way I see it, buy once, cry once. If you buy quality, it will be with you for years. If you buy cheap, you get what you pay for and you are going to have to purchase multiple cheap ones and eventually you are going to spend MORE than you would have to get the good one...

Hi, That one is actually in my list, it does show high positive feedback rating, flip the batteries around, or buy new batteries.

I have the Align gauge and it works well.

I agree with Geena RC logger works wonderful RC Logger Digital Pitch Gauge

 

[Admiral]

RC Logger for me, bought the full kit before I retired, to be honest I only ever use the standard blade pitch gauge part of it.

 

[Tony]

That looks like a nice little piece of kit! So tempting!!!

 

[Geena]

I have one of those kits too. I don`t use the swash level part of it. but the tail blade attachment is cool and works like a charm.

I highly recommend looking at the Soko Heli Tool (yes it is expensive)! Not only does it measure blade pitch but also is designed to level your swash! It is all I use nowdays! Before that, I used the Rc Logger 2 and had great setup results with it. Goodluck!

 

[bigone5500]

I finally got one that works.

 

[sneezy007]

Good stuff Jared.

 

[Geena]

That`s a nice looking piece of equipment you got there. Let us know how you like it.
