Just thought to myself, it would be a great idea to have a list of weights for standard items so that I knew for future reference when shipping etc...

Weight of a standard wing for example, or a 15" bbs... Might be a good idea if we could get a thread going with weights of items.

As you weigh them, you add it to the list and our wiki guru adds the, every soo often?

I'm game, as long as it's only to within 0.5kg. Otherwise I'll get countless PMs of "I posted a wing mirror and they charged me 4.57 at the post office instead of 3.80 because your Wiki was wrong by 50 grammes, so you owe me the difference" :mad:

Anyway, doesn't bmwfans.info list weights for almost everything?

It does. Anyone know why a LH wing is lighter than a RH one?

They made a mistake when they weighed them or it's something to do with the inner wings being different shapes? :)
