Bill,
Thanks for your encouraging comment.  From reading the viewers' comments to the videos, it seems viewers either love the rotary, or loath it and are convinced it is going to blow up any minute, and that I must be totally insane.  The jury is still out on the latter. 

Since I have updated my panel with a new AFS EFIS, it might be time to make some new rotary videos.

Mark,

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

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,

Can you give me a wire wall forward weight of your 20B minus the oil & water radiators

and your constant speed prop or your best estimate ??...........

 

Thanks,
