[NSRCA-discussion] Nats weight measurement

[vicenterc at comcast.net]

Just in case that someone is using pounds.  2.205 lbs = 1 Kg.  Therefore, 5 Kg is really 11.025 lbs.  This is 11 lbs 0.4oz.  Therefore, if your plane is 11 lbs you are safe since we are using Kg to measure the weight at the Nats.  

Glen, Good luck at the Nats.  I am sure that you will enjoy.
