I am going to weigh an RV7A in the morning. I was going to jack up the plane and put the scales under the main gear and then let down the jacks. It occured to me that I can just put the scales under the jack stands but I would need to measure the arm of the tiedown station. has anyone done it like this? I am sure they have. I was looking for someone else' measurement to bounce off what I get in the morning.
For the nose wheel, I am just going to push down the tail and put the scale under the nose wheel. I already know that the mains must be ~1.5 inches higher than the nosewheel to put the airframe in a level attitude. I should be able to get the mains off the hangar floor no problem. I am using the scales from Avery tools.
