I suspect this may quickly veer off into primer wars territory, but I'm going to ask it anyway. What sort of stuff to you guys include/exclude from your basic empty weight? I'm going to be doing my weight and balance in a few days and I've been mulling this over.
My working theory is that if it's bolted onto the airplane it's obviously part of the empty weight, but what about something like the removable co-pilot stick? In my case, that thing will be leaning in the corner of the hangar 90% of the time.
This is pretty much an academic exercise, but I'm curious what people are doing with stuff like that.
