If we decide to get it registered, a certified weight is one of the DMV requirements.

When we weigh airplanes (where weight and center of gravity is critical), it's done with scales under each wheel. (I've only owned small planes, I have no clue how they weight 747's.)

In the case of using only 1 scale, it seems like Archimedes Principal of Levers would apply. Which I *think* means, ever single wheel would have to be EXACTLY as far of the ground, as the one with the scale under it.

For the engineers in the group, am I missing something?

Why do you feel the need to have your "goof cat" with you 24/7?

If you decide to get it registered, you’ll need a whole lot more than just the weight to make it street legal ……
