I = weighed the VW=20 engine from the Sonerai project, = for comparison to the single rotor weight=20 later, and figured the other single rotor boys might be interested in = what a=20 2180 VW really weighs.

-=20 Great Plains 2180, Diehl case, 1’ exhaust = pipes, short=20 intakes on heads, secondary ignition, force one prop hub – 150 = lbs

- = Spacers to=20 mount=20 Diehl case to airframe- 4=20 lbs

- = Starter- 11=20 lbs

- = Magneto- 5.5=20 lbs

- = Stock oil=20 cooler- 1.5 lbs

- = Zenith carb=20 and horrible adapter- 4.5 lbs

Total=20 weight above- = 176.5

A carb mount, and tubing to = connect the=20 carb to the intakes on the heads, plus = oil would=20 have to be added, along with coils and wires for the secondary ignition, = and=20 baffles for cylinder cooling. Realistically, this would end up = weighing=20 around 185-190 lbs with all that added. Power = is rated=20 at 70 hp continuous, and 76 hp for takeoff.

Cheers,
