What Should I charge

Make sure you do it indoors. Any breeze at all is going to change the readings (you know....wings generate lift).

Definitely DO NOT pick a windy day, park facing into the wind, put the flaps down for extra effect. You will end up with a bunch of extra useful load.. oh the humanity! :goofy:

This is just another reason why I got incensed at the Robert X. Cringley homebuilding show. First, the whole premise was ludicrous where he was going to design a new aircraft, build and fly it all in one month. Then after it's clear he's not going to do it, he slams together a Fisher, does the W&B outside on a breezy day, and then damn near ground loops the thing on the test flight. What an idiot.
