Would anybody post the arm lengths for the 3 wheels on an RV12 for weight and balance purposes? I just want to verify that what I measured is accurate.

Thanks.

What kind of scale do you use to get weights of each wheel?

I used three bath room scales. I did three measurements rotating the scales each time. I used the average of the three measurements on each wheel.

I believe you are supposed to use certified scales. If I want to use my bathroom scale - how do I get it certified?

The FBO at my airport has 3 certified scales which I plan to use.
