If we should all be using weight, you should have a typical ZFW of 450 N (newtons), unless you are pulling g, then your loady should rapidly inform you that the ZFW has increased to 900 N.

also g = GMm/r2 so as your altitude increases, so should your weight.

All sound a bit too much? Yes, I think we should all be using ZFM after all!
