Shocked

Got the shock of my life today. Tried to weigh the fox and knees are still shaking. Air cooled 110 lb engine, warp drive prop, basic insturments, nothing special and the scales said 573 lbs. Scales must be wrong or I know nothing about building aircraft. Will buy new scales and try again. If it comes out close to that again, I'll part it out and hang it up. A model 2 at that weight is useless to me.

Ya, something must be wrong with the scales.  Your engine is lighter then a 582 all up, my Kitfox 1 with a 582 was 496.   JImCuk

Maybe you need to clean your glasses! :lmao:

That's what I am counting on! Will try to get new scales tomorrow. And I tried to clean my glasses but the tears kept getting them dirty. Maybe I used lead paint?

Got a hold of a couple medical scales today. Will try the weighing thing again in a couple days. If I don't report back, its either way too heavy or trapped gas. Either one is bad.
