Mark,
You posted some videos on utube a while
back. Have you made any recently? Folks like me really like to
watch them!

weight
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.
