Paul,
    Where did you get the weights listed here?  Some do NOT correlate with
the Lycoming chart I have.  For instance, dry weight on the angle head 200
HP A-C series, w/o aerobatic crank, is 293 pounds, not 320.  The aerobatic
crank adds another 6 pounds.  There are equal or greater dissimularities for
all the Lycs.  My source is a factory flyer for remans from about three
years ago.
    Out of curiosity, does your source have dry weights for 205-220hp
Franklins?  thanks, Tom

I have no idea where this came from. I see other charts with different weights.
Nothing on the Franklin. I think most of the problem is accessories like starter 
carb and alternator may or may not be included. I do know the O-200 is right on.

If you want we can upload your chart and average them.
