Using a Weigh scale!

Are u asking how to approximate the airframe weight so that u can select proper propulsion ?

no actually my plane is almost ready..i just needed to know total weight so that i can calculate trust to weight ratio...

Go to a near by grocery shop put it on his scale and weigh the plane! No price to pay just answer some question which am sure the shop keeper will ask

I use a kitchen scale. When I switch it on, I place a small empty plastic container like a small dustbin or a bucket and reset the scale to 0 and then place the model on top of this arrangement. works for me.
