Kenny Ko Professional RC Helicopter Pitch Gauge Version 2

The V2 comes with a nice case, a USB to USB-C charging cable, and is actually wide and tall enough to fit VTX 717’s blades and the Venture 716’s. The V1, which I unfortunately bought a week before the V2 was released, fit about 55mm down the blade tip on those blades.
Nice CNC materials, a screw cut-out in the bottom of the gauge so you can zero it on a Scorpion motor with a big button screw, and a quality angle gauge. I’m not sure what practical use the “hold” function has, as it takes a kind of snap shot of the angle it was pressed at and does nothing more until you hit it again. I don’t love how the spring on the back is exposed, or that the gauge doesn’t specify what type of rechargeable lithium battery is inside. If it’s a lipo, keeping this tool in your car/tool box/backpack or just out on a table on a hot summer day could damage the battery inside. The finish and quality of this tool is impressive. I could see a few tweaks to the design that could make it be the last angle gauge you’d ever need to buy. Maybe there will be a “perfect” V3 someday. The price is about $20 too high, but the quality is there. If it was perfect and maybe had a swash-leveling function, I would be happy with the price.
