Extremely light, high impact plastic tubing with aluminum rings resist damage. Available "Aircraft Specific Scales" Can be downloaded and printed from the website. Can easily be calibrated to any tank using the "Universal" scale. A worksheet, written instructions and even an instructional video are available at the website. We will generate an "Aircraft Specific Scale" from your calibration
It's shipping tube doubles as a "Vented Storage Tube". This allows any remaining fuel to evaporate between uses, provides a protection for the life of the unit and reduces manufacturing waste. It's design gives consistent readings even when the fuel in the tank is sloshing around. It's upper and lower rings aide in handling. Large Easy-to-Read numbers observed outside the tank. Quantities given in both Gallons and Pounds! Color coded sections represent approx. 1/3 cruise consumption. It's not limited to your aircraft. Works in tractors, small motors, etc. Will not fall into fuel tank on most aircraft. 100% Made in the USA  |

WORKS GREAT VERY ACCURATE
Does what its supposed to do. Calibrated for my RV8 tanks right out of the box. Since the fuel level sensors in the tanks only read up to 14 gallons, this gives a good way of seeing how much is in each tank from 14 to 21 gal.

Works as advertised. However, they dont tell you that the range is only 10-21 gallons.
Don’t waste your money. Doesn’t read any quantity below 10gal (had I read the reviews, I’d have seen this no one to blame but myself). So, the Stik is useless below half-gas…which is probably where you need a reading the most.

Total disappointment. Scale doesnt read quantities below 10 gal (approx half a tank)...when below 10 is probably one of the more critical quantities to know, especially if wanting to stay within the lighter aerobatic gross weight envelope. But the joke is on me. Had I read the other reviews, Id have discovered this, that the scale only reads from 10-21 gal...could have saved my money.

These do not need to be calibrated, they are pre calibrated for the specific aircraft when ordered. You can change the scale out in these though to use them with different aircraft, those scales would need to be calibrated.
No there is not.
