BBQ and Weigh in at KMIT
I just purchased a set of digital/wireless scales that we will make available next week during the BBQ. So let's weigh some planes. These are Proform scales for weighing race cars and can handle 1750

I need to put some new tires on the project that we are re-building. They are 500X5 tires. Would the group recommend 4 ply or more? Thanks in advance

Jim you are correct. This was Mark's Q200 and what a nice plane it is. It was outside and inside at Truckee and actually shows little signs of weather at all. Even the canopy cleaned up very nicely. Y

Got it, Thanks, What is the normal tail weights folks are seeing? I put in a pretty large battery to try and prevent adding too much ballast at the tail.

Sorry my response was not complete when I hit send. We are using the original QAC brackets (which I understand have been improved) Thanks again for the reply.
