Jim,

   I do not have all the numbers in front of me at the moment

 as to the weight. The FC housing is a pressure casting and

 relatively light. The primary difference will be a forward

 (Tractor A/C) movement of the 13B C/G. My motive is to put

 the prop forward and have the eng cowl fair directly into

 the radius of the 16 inch spinner.
