Sportys Intro's Portable Electronic G-Meter

'Fess Up! How Many Gs Did You Say You Pulled?

How many times have you heard some wag go off about how many Gs he or she pulled in the course of a flying session... and without a G-Mater to prove the case?

Well; Sportys' Uncle Hal has a way to for us to get an accurate reading of just how much acceleration we're inducing on our airframes... and this solution is PORTABLE.

Of course, aerobatic pilots need a G-meter to know exactly how many Gs they are pulling during a particular maneuver. But this G-meter is also useful in training aircraft for teaching steep turns, unusual attitudes or demonstrating the concept of load factor.

Pretty Simple To Use

The Electronic G-meter’s easy-to-read display shows both instantaneous readings and max/min values for review after the maneuver is complete. Operation is simple and intuitive—just press one of the three large buttons. The lightweight G-meter has a range of -4.0 to +8.0 Gs and operates on two AAA batteries.

It can be attached to the interior of the airplane with Velcro or double-sided tape. And remember... having a portable G-Meter means never being accused of fibbing about how many Gs you're pulling again...
