Given the changes that have been made recently it is mandated that a re weigh of the aircraft is required.
Technically the replacement wing is factory so should be the same weight.. the covering is the same … but .. a full re weigh will show up any deviations.
A Priory Farm Aviator member (Tom) very kindly offered some scales that he had hired for his flex wing check
The kit, from the BMAA is beautifully put together .. the lid of each scale doubles up as a ramp .. neat and effective!
Got the aircraft setup into flying position..then roll her onto the scales and drop her gently onto the tailwheel


The resultant weight was extremely close to the original weight check and also showed that Left and Right were really.close too
