I sold my mechanical Ruggles weigh scales and now am trying some
digital automotive racing scales that are just a little more expensive. The scales I found are actually less expensive than normal racing scales but the real advantage is that they can be sold individually rather than a set of four. For my purposes I only need two (use bathroom scale on front wheel) and that brings the price down to about $500 for two digital scales compared to $310 for the mechanical Ruggles scale set. I tested the accuracy of the new digital scales and they seem to be accurate to the nearest pound thats quite better than Ruggles. You can see the scales at http://racing.centralcarolinascale.com/low-cost.htm Another place http://www.usedscales.com/ws_and_ps_race_car_scale.htm also sells them, but when they found out I was going to use them for aircraft, they went bezerk and would not sell them to me but insisted that I purchase more expensive ones. I tried to explain that I can possibly calibrate the cheaper ones (just like you calibrate a compass with a compass correction chart) but they were so caught up in superlatives and safety slogans they would not listen. Any two of you can get together and purchase a whole set for about $900 and split it. Thats only about $450 for digital aircraft scale set (plus one good bathroom scale). |
