Kelly,

It's not.  I'm grounded with an Achilles Tendon rupture recovery.  The airplane is just gathering dust.  Previously, I had some issues with overly hot EGTs and muffler problems.  I've made fixes to both, but have not been able to test any of it.  I'm going nuts watching the plane sit there and just get dirty.  I'll be grounded for at least 2 more months.  


Best Regards,

Steve Thomas

Just a memory from a long ago conversation with the Mistral people but I remember it as being 20 pounds more than the RD-1x which would make it about 65lbs.

No idea, Kelly.  I've never weighed the reduction drive alone.  Sorry.
