The Zircon VideoLevel is a like a bubble level that beeps. The
display is graphical not digits, self-calibrating, and memory for
angles other than level. It's been very handy for jobs other than the
Europa, since you don't have to look at it; beep means level or
plumb. Beep also means within +/- about .07 degree, but in equalizing
wing or tailplane incidence which is only where accuracy is really
needed, a bubble level does that too, and better. Plus one side and
minus on the other could mean as much as .14 deg diff; similar on the
SmartTool?
