Kelly,

That's a tough one.  The 3-rotor weight typically quoted is 295#, but this
isn't fwf.  Take into account that I am running dual alternators, an
aluminum Renesis water pump housing and aluminum water pump, p-port intake,
and it is difficult to say the fwf weight.  What I can say is that my a/c
weighed in at 2050#, which is very close to the typical Lycoming Lancair.
Going by that, I would guess that my fwf 20b weighs close to what a fwf
IO-540 weighs.

Going at it from a different angle, I believe the W&B showed about 550# on
the nose gear.  That would be a pretty good ballpark number for FWF.  Its
been a while, so I would have to check the logs to see exactly what the
weights were when first inspected.

Mark
