LOL Seriously, it's not something to be too concerned about. You can weigh your plane right at the NATs before competition / practice starts. If you need to make any adjustments, you'll have plenty of time to do so. <BR>

The scales should be calibrated prior to the event. They use standard weights that certified are certified to NIST. The scale should be adjusted to the exact weight being applied or within the tolerance stated by the scales manufacture which could be +/- a few grams. Generally scales are adjusted to nominal readings so don’t count on a heavy or light indication.<BR>
