Well, I needed some weight in the nose of my Giles to balance it, so I had some weight strips purchased at LHS.

Just for my info, i threw one on the micro scale i have.....instead of 3 ounces it weighs 2.85!!! Another was 2.88 and the third 2.95!!!!

OH the inhumanity. Short changed by a total of .32 ounces over the three of them....how can we build the planes we want, and get the performance we expect, with such built in inaccuracies..... Roll Eyes

I'll have you know it is a Classic "StarFart" electronic digital scale..... yes, from OneLung province of China - assembly line 32 in factory 17 to be exact.

Surely such a delicate piece of measuring efficiency couldn't be inaccurate... Shocked

OMG
OMG
the deceptions foisted upon us.... Huh
