I used "heavy" bathroom scales for the mains and a regular scale for the tail after leveling the plane.
I used "heavy" bathroom scales for the mains and a regular scale for the tail after leveling the plane.
I see a lot of 300-400 pound max scales. How high do I need to go?
So I need a 400lb scale.
Quite a good article I thought:
Weighing a taildragger
My EAA Chapter bought a set of auto scales, 4 load cells, we use 3, it gives the weight at each station and you can tare it if you need to put any blocks on the scale.
You might check your EAA Chapter or any local auto clubs to see if they have scales you can borrow.
