It has been a while since my aircraft was weighed so I thought it a good idea to do it again. Last time it was weighed it was on wheels so it was relatively easy. This time it is on floats. The problem I had was it was virtually impossible to position the scales so that the weight was centered over the center of the scale due to the curvature of the bottom of the float. Here's the question: When I measure the distance from the datum, do I measure to the center of the scale, or to the point of contact between the scale and the airplane? I did the calculation both ways and there is a difference in the C of G of about 2" between the two.
