I am sure there are plenty of places. However, the shop at Harvey field (S43) has been getting quite the education in weighing 170's if you look at my intro thread to #1000 on here. I had a bunch of work done, and the plane had not been weighed from scratch for a long number of years so I had them do a full W&B, and it turns out previous W&B's had used wrong ARMS as did the shop.

So they are doing it again this week.

They should have a good handle on the process after this week I think. They do have all the scales, and put together a nice W&B sheet from their computer program. They even did one each with and without the rear seat in for me.
