<DIV>Ever taken a Robart meter apart? I did once (forget why), and found that it actually uses a US penny for the counterweight!</DIV>
<DIV>Interesting.</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Agree, </DIV>
<DIV>And would add, always set up the level with the same side forward.</DIV>
<DIV>If I swap my robart meter 180 degrees, it's off a bit.</DIV>

<DIV>I don't even try to use the bubble level. As long as you set the fuselage's datum line to what the meter itself says is zero, you can make all your other measurements relative to that reference. It then measures degrees + or - from zero, not from level. Seems to work out OK for me. I do the same for the GP laser incidence meter, which I find more accurate anyway.</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Has any tried to calibrate their Robart incidence meter, or sent it back to</DIV>
<DIV>have it done? The bubble level appears accurate, but the meter is way off</DIV>
<DIV>from where the bubble syas is level. I've checked it against two other</DIV>
<DIV>levels, and the level bubble on the Robart meter is ok.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks.</DIV>
