Default RE: 3-Scale Balancing

My scales are 7-10 years old, so I'll have to go out to the shop to see the exact brand/model.....Tanika? They measure up to 15 kg each, supposedly accurate to +/- 5 gm.

I feel I should mention again that it's very important to position the plane on the scales in flying attitude....as close as possible to a horizontal thrust line. Because CG changes very little with up or down attitude those last few degrees +/- horizontal, eye-balling it is usually good enough.

Thanks,
