Brief Description:    Final a/c weight
Although I don't have the fuselage and wheel paint paint, nor my interior upholstery, it was time to weight the aircraft for final weight and balance.

My EAA 106 chapter has a beautiful set of ramps and scales (NASCAR scales) that I used to weigh the aircraft. The tailwheel has to be elevated so the fuselage is in level flight attidude. A few 2x4s and a roll of tape (!) did the trick. We put a bubble level on the cockpit side rail. The 2x4s were zero'd out of the scales before rolling the a/c onto the scales.

Final numbers:
Total = 653 lbs
Left main = 304
Right main = 312
Tail wheel = 37
