If the plane has had a number of mods, it is a good idea to get it re-weighed.

Things like new paint, repairs and the like add to the weight continuously.

It is a fast & easy job if you have the scales or know some one who has them.

For example, although I have had much lighter radios installed and had wiring cleaned up etc., the four layers of paint mean the empty weight is now 80 lbs higher than the original Cessna weight & balance.

BTW, you can call Cessna and for a fee they will send you the original equipment list & weight & balance.
