Interesting. My old RV-3A with a 3-carb 13B was 781 pounds. Pretty good compared with a O-290G, and I think I got 140 to 150 HP out of that.

Thanks for the points of comparison! 892 lbs. is a bit heavy for a “3”, but still can perform well as you know!

I think my 3A was about 780 lbs. empty with an O-290G which performed well on the 125 hp it put out…

Take care
