Thanks Tracy. Well there you have it Vance. Way less than 150% of a 13B
which is about 190 pounds.

So Paul, Tell me if I'm in the ball-park with
 these figures:-
Bare 1 rotor 13 b weight is 124 lbs
All up weight 1 rotor is 190 lbs
Bare 2 rotor 13 b weight is  190 lbs
All up weight 2 rotor is 320lbs
Bare 3 rotor 13 b weight is  256 lbs
All up weight 3 rotor is 390 lbs

You are in the ball park but I cannot say for sure. I don't think
we have the exact weights for a one rotor yet. For that matter
no firewall forward on a three rotor either.
