The main reason I asked was my father and I used a laser level [ his new gaget of the week at the time] to check the level of the wings on our plane. We got it all set up and then just for a double check used a water level. The water level showed a 3/8" 'out of level' or 3/16" from tip to tip. Needless to say.. I wasn't impressed. I think in the future I'm just going to borrow the Transit from work.

I have one and can attest that the thing does a great job. Did my barn foundation with it. My friend is a surveyor and shot the foundation for practice and said it was within 1/8"!
