I can't disagree with that. What I do disagree with is people clicking the
"reply" button and including the complete file with their reply. For those
of us in the digest mode it gets tedious scrolling down through the garbage
to get to the two lines of a new message. Just click "reply", copy to the
clipboard what is pertinent, then press ctrl A and then "delete." Click
ctrl "V" to put the saved clip back in and type away. Now, that wasn't too
hard was it?

Hi A lurker
Like all home brewed auto installations, it can vary quite a bit. The
lowest FWF weight I am aware of is 290Lbs. Mine is closer to 340lbs that
includes block, all manifolds, coolant system (radiators), motor mount, fuel
system, vaccum system (I use a 9 lb smog pump), electrical system, starter,
generator, motor mount, etc. and my exhaust system is out of schedule 40
stainless steel pipe (rather than tubing). Exhaust system counting heavy
pipe header and mufflers is around 26lbs. I also use large (heavy)
stainless steel braided hoses for coolant lines while others use good
quality radiator hoses. I now know I have sort of "overbuilt" on some of
the components and could probably reduce the weight FWF by a good 20
lbs-30lbs or more.
The twin rotor 13B engine block itself (without the manifolds) weights 190
lbs

I quite agree. Anyone whose text runs to five or six >>>>>>> is too lazy to

For what it's worth, I appreciate folks that pare the previous stuff back to
something that reminds me of the original message, otherwise I tend to get
lost.
Also it's very nice when folks set their mail program to put the reply at
the top, so you don't have to dig down to read it. - Larry

My point was that the only *displacement* that counts is how many CFM of
fuel/air mixture the engine pumps at its operational RPM. It this respect,
ANY engine can be compared with another.
I won't bore anyone with the math again but if you bother to check, the 13B
rotary and the O - 360 Lycoming figure out to the same CFM of air pumped (at
full throttle). That's why they both make about the same power.
