Just to echo the comments of David and Freddy .
By coincidence I had my Europa Mono professionally reweighed a few days ago by
Neil France using his linked digital specialist scales. I did this due to the
LAA recommended / required default action so to do every 10 years.
The aircraft needs to be in level flight alignment when weighing. At the point
of releasing the wings it looks quite alarming, but is safe and precise.
Professional weighing. Not expensive and supremely accurate. Your life may depend
on the result.

Bob

Hi all
Just a quick thanks to everyone that answered back about the sticky choke cable....seems
to have improved with a long loop and lubing up the cable.
Kind Regards

BobIm curious as to whether or not the professional weighing gave a result at variance
to your *non-professional efforts.

Yes she had put on weight. Most I could explain. In the intervening years a variable
pitch prop had superseded the original warp drive propeller. A fire extinguisher
is now acknowledged as part of the permanent aircraft equipment.
A remaining three kilos gain in ten years could not be reconciled. Anecdotally
many aircraft gain weight as they age. Consequently Im happy with the result.
My routine W/B calculations now reflect the corrected figure.

Everyone,
I just redid the weight and balance and found out my issue was PILOT ERROR...........
Guess the main wheel was resting against my ramp to the scales when I weighed it
before.
Now getting 771 lbs on the main and 73.65 lbs on the tail wheel for a total of
844.65 lbs empty.
Weighed multiple times with the same results so I'm confident now of the numbers.
All calculations fall nicely within the CG now.
A few more minor adjustments and I'm ready to call my FAA inspector.
Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions.
