How did you balance it Francois? Got any

Quite an atractive looking little package.

How much weight will it save over the 13B?  Do you

plan to use a redrive

designed for a 13B?  Are you going to scale down a

cooling system to save

weight too?

Thanks for asking
Frank.

6500 RPM? What kind of prop are you using Frank?
The engine is lighter than I expected as you could get another
20 pounds out of it by using the auto tx flex plate.
