Title: The hobby Industry is Shafting us fliers
Post by Fingers on Jun 23^rd, 2015 at 12:51pm

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..... ::)

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... :o

OMG OMG the deceptions foisted upon us.... :-?
