Re: [RCSE] Need Good Weight Scale for Sailplanes!

[Jody Vogel <jzvogel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I recently purchased a Tanita model 1114 from Precision Weighing Balances.
Their website listed it at about $82 but when I ordered it they had dropped
to price to $76. I'm very happy with it. Here are the specs...

0-1000g d=1g / 0-35oz d=.05oz
Net measurement (Tare weighing)
Auto Power Off

I uses 4 C size batteries and comes with a wall power supply.
