I’m not sure if he fabricated this or purchased it. If anyone knows where a gage can be purchased, please let me know. Thanks in advance. Ricky

Here’s a link. I can’t get the pic to post.

Sighting device

If you can't find one, it can be made out of a carbon fiber fishing pole. Looks great and has multiple sizes of rod on each pole. Had one like this on a Yak 55m and it worked fine.

Made mine with carbon fiber arrow shafts from Wal-Mart. Use threaded rod to join ends.

Thanks for the post guys!

How did you attach the rods to the airframe? Any pics?

Thanks,
Ricky

Arrow shafts and support rods are set into 1/2" aluminum tube filled with epoxy.
Support rods are two 1" x 1/4" aluminum (Home Depot) bolted to end rib with four AN3 bolts/nuts. You will need 4 bushings to offset support rods to clear end of wing skin. Slots cut in fiberglass wing tip, not wing skin!
