I will soon weigh my Sonex and I'm wondering if anybody has used the currently common electronic bathroom scales that have you tap the scale, so it zeros itself, then it tells you how fat you've gotten, then it shuts off. I THINK I can use them by lifting the wing, touching it back down, waiting till it zeroes, putting the wheel back down, reading it. Repeat on the other side.

Has anyone done this?

I do have ONE mechanical bathroom scale, but my EAA chapters scales have disappeared, and the local thrift stores only have the electronic scales, albeit at low, low prices.

My Sonex empty should only be about 650 lbs, so 3 bathroom scales should be enough.
