they only offer a 14 day warranty
No offense, the surface that provides the actual pitch should be measured, not the root nor the blade tip.
Anyhow, I've used my SGS2 (116g) phone to measure blade pitch using an app and while it works fine on a 500 size, this is totally not true for 250 or 450 size helicopters. My phone is far too heavy, despite being lighter than an iPhone.
In fact, many digital pitch gauges are too heavy also, like the RC Logger digital pitch gauge. These things ideally should be very very lightweight. 🙂
Ok its not to heavy first you measure pitch at the root of the blades (or as close as you can to avoid the frame from getting in the way) not the tips. it will be solid by the head also those blades go though more stress flying around then putting a few ounces on them and even if you did pitch them 1/4 of the way up the blade it wont throw the pitch off. i can see this being usefull if you have a smart phone instead of droping $50 on a digital gauge witch is needed imo if you fly with FBL heads.
Funky
Too heavy!
too heavy for helis, how are you going to adjust blade pitch if the device is pulling down on blades..?????
isn't too heavy?
Usless to me I dont even own a mobile of any sort and never will ….!!!!
