Can anyone recall what > their engine/accesories weight was as they installed? - mine was 185 lbs as advertised w/o muffler, rad, etc. i'm sure there's a wide varience between accessory weights but to compare to a cont (not counting prop, engine mount, gascolator/fuel lines, battery, etc) i'd guess 210 -220 lbs? muffler - 5lbs, rad - 5lbs, coolant - 5lbs, plus 185 = 200. i have lot's of exact weights for items but never added everything up. > Has anybody seen used Stratus engines sell - what did they sell for, im > wondering if the sale price would cover a mid time continental. - i've only seen one for sale for about $5K but not sure if it was sold. it was the vision aircraft company http://www.visionaircraft.com/, maybe you can find out from them if they sold it. - just curious - why switch? bad luck with the Stratus? gary ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:35:32 AM PST US From: Larry McFarland Subject: Re: Stratus-List: Re: Stratus-List Digest: 1 Msgs - 11/19/05 --> Stratus-List message posted by: Larry McFarland Rueffy, The Stratus EA-81 all up is near 215 lbs, I believe the continental is more like 205, not so much a difference, but the horsepower would be similiar. I frequently see Continentals at or near $3500. Your Stratus is going to be worth close to that or a little more. You like burning 100LL? instead of 87-octane car gas. I'm surprised you'd swap with that kind of economy going for you.
