 Hello George!   According to BMW (9 to 10000rpm) although  I did not 
see the specs on it! The weight of the PSRU
with the starter is 49 lbs.The flywheel with the coupling is 19 lbs.
While I was running tests;in the first 45 hrs I
just ran on slpash,and the temp.never went over 205 degrees! Then ,with 
a nice spinner on the prop the temp. went up to
230 degrees. However with the prop pusher mode,the temp stayed at 
205-degrees. I used 20w50 oil! With the oil from the
engine directly from the cooler temp. stays around 190 degrees!

19 pounds is WAY too much weight for a rotary engine flywheel John.
