This digital torque meter is used to carefully wind rubber for indoor rubber powered model airplanes. I designed this around a scale that can have the auto-off disabled. The selected scale is also a low profile display, which allows tilting to a higher angle for better distance visibility. This meter approach borrows heavily from Jake's.

Print Details:

You will need to print one of each, except choose only one arm length to print. The arm lengths allow different units as follows:

2.8" arm, set scale to g, readout is in oz-in * 10. This is my preferred setting. 0.5 oz in will display as 5.0.
50mm arm, set scale to carats, readout is in g-cm
1-inch arm, set scale to Oz, readout is in inch-oz

You will need to print two of the collars.

Assembly:

The assembly is very similar to Jake's, and details can be seen at [HPA](https://www.hippocketaeronautics.com/hpa_forum/index.php?topic=22468.0) The meter is more similar to the later version, so be sure to read through to the end.
