Mike, I think we've confused you a bit. Three things are required - the name IS necessary (original builder - not necessarily the current owner), the model, and the plane's serial number. Address not required or any other stuff.
And ........ yes!, be sure to re-weigh, for your own safety, as well as curiosity. Don't assume anything about an aircraft you didn't build yourself. Finding the CG requires simple math skills, yes, but you need to be confident in what you are doing. Ed My data plate has HP, owner's name & address, weights, etc. - apparently all of it unnecessary I now know. I was thinking of bringing the plate up to date, but since the changed information on it isn't required anyway (thanks Ed) I'll probably just be leaving it alone. I'm going to re-weigh the plane soon anyway, just for my own curiosity. Mike
