Anybody have - or know a good source for - a low profile electronic scale suitable for weighing a ballasted glider? Need up to 700 kg.
Thanks

If you are trying to do a weight and balance the most demanding measurement is the tail weight (because of the long lever arm). Here is a scale suitable for doing that measurement:
