Ok. Y'all know I've removed the flying rotary from my Velocity. For those who may be curios, I weighed my full rotary install today. I removed the entire engine as one unit from the firewall, including the Conversion Concepts engine mount, 13b turbo block (sans turbo), stock exhaust, Mistral Intake, injectors, coils, remote oil filter, two alternators (one stock, one smaller Kuboto mounted at the vacuum pump bracket) hoses, oil cooler, radiators, oil, most of the coolant (last about 1.5 quarts) RWS RD-B re-drive and IVO three blade in flight adjustable prop.

I wanted to weigh the entire things as a unit but it was too cumbersome and was over my scales limit.

So, I weighed the PSRU and prop as on unit. The radiator and factory oil cooler and attach brackets as a second unit and the engine, mount, exhaust, intake et al as a third unit.

The engine tipped the scale just at 290 lbs
The coolers (with one medium fan) were 27 lbs
The PSRU and prop were 78 lbs

TOTAL 395 lbs.

Just some data I thought y'all might like.

PS, I have a pending sale with deposit on the PSRU and prob combo. I may be wanting to sell the rest if I have serious interest (I become too attached to stuff). I think the Mistral Intake may garner some mindful interest. Just FYI.
