I suspend the parts below the scale to weigh them.That seems to work best.

 I am curious as to what others do in regards to eliminating effects of static charge when weighing on a digital scale. Since it is winter for me and humidity is low I am getting some static charge on wings and tails which cause the weights to vary. For the short term I have constructed a balsa "tower" that hold parts about 10" above the scale. That seems to work for smaller wings but a F1D wing needs to be much higher to get the scale out of the field.  I only see this on plastic covered parts which makes sense. A motor stick or uncovered frame weighs are ok. I have tried Bounce anti cling dryer sheets but that takes time to discharge. Was hoping for a quick solution to discharge. I see they sell anti static devices for lab use but they are $2000 . Also read ionizers can work. Just curious as to what others have done.
