Weighing RV-8
Getting the aircraft on the scales with wheel pants on took some help. Level.
Accessory stand supports tail. Chocks prevent roll oof and pant damage.
Multiply x4 minus tare = 534 lbs. 51 lbs. @ tailwheel.  This is scary part of weighing RV8!
Re-weighed the aircraft during this year's condition inspection. 1131 lbs. ! Yikes! Paint, ILS and MKR Bcn Rcrs, A/P servos and harness, carpet and interior, F/W insulation, fire extinguisher and headsets have added to empty weight since original weighing. Tanks were empty and 6 qts oil in engine. I was off my estimated weight by 31 lbs. Here are the numbers if you are interested. Excel W/B.
