I weighed mine on a Taylor 7519 bathroom scale, just one. I made a wooden ramp for each wheel, then rolled the plane back and forth to weigh each wheel one at a time. Spacers under the edge of the scale will keep it from tipping as the wheel rolls onto it. If the scale can weigh an overweight human, it can weigh a 350 pound aircraft wheel. I have three of 50 pound scale-calibrating weights that I bought at a flea market. So I know the scale is accurate. I also have an antique farmer's grain scale to compare the digital scale to. Weigh each wheel twice to make sure the scale repeats the previous weight.

Still of the belief you don't have to spend thousands of dollars to accurately weigh a few hundred pounds, I just added three of these to the mix. I figure I will put them side by side, pull the aircraft up on the first three, then on forward to the second set of three. Unlikely both would be in the same error, and can switch around of suspected.

Err... your link take me to my Amazon orders, not yours...
Now let's find those deals on some that will weigh a -10. At north of 1500# empty, I don't think 440# scales under a main wheel is gonna cut it. Cannot locate the 50-dollar 660#-capable scales we were told about this morning.
OK, lets skin this cat another way:

I am curious to know if when weighing the plane by moving one set of scales to each wheel and using a packer under the other wheels if there will be any error if the packer is not the exact height of the scales with the plane on them also how much difference does it make by not having the front wheel lifted by the packer called for in the PAP
