We used a similar set
Did you zero them out before putting the plane on?
When we're they last calibrated?

Do you weight it more than one time ?

Thanks

Gives a nice read out of lbs or k and % of weight on each scale and a total of all four. The unused platform reads 0. When I stand on the forth scale it gives my individual weight (cuz I wasn't already discouraged enough) and ads that to the total of all four.

I am using a rotary which is supposed to be comparable to a 360. I also have a turbo and A/C which easily explains part of the weight above the standard 1300 lbs but not by any means all. Yikes.
