Hi Dave,
You mentioned you had scales for the mains.
Can I borrow them?

I'll drive down and pick them up.

Brian,
My bathroom scale says I have 103 pounds on the tail wheel.
Is that about right for a parked RV4 with nobody in it?

Paul Lamar

That weight is within the expected range. When weighing the plane, the
tail should be elevated to the level-flight attitude, which will reduce
the weight appearing on the tail and increase the weight appearing on
the mains.
