That seems like a lot of work when you're starting with a number that was
not an actual weighing at the factory.

In the 60's Cessnas were weighed at the factory. I have the original Cessna
documents that show that. However it would still be easier to just weigh
the plane than figure all the changes thru the years. I have my equipment
list on a spreadsheet, very easy to add or subtract something and print a
new one.

In addition to the fact that reweighing is easier, if the plane is that old, it's
likely to have been repainted. If it's been repainted, it really should be weighed.
