*** It is ugly, it is heavy, it is a poor performer, and turns a beautiful
airplane into a dog! That is why I am on this Newsletter. Dave McCandless,
EuropaXS/6.5b.

    I just weihged one of my long blocks (142 lbs) no intake 
starter or fly wheel) these things only need a 15 lbs flywheel!

OK it is up to 157 pound less intake, PSRU, rads, starter, alternator 
motor mount, etc., etc.. What kind and weight of PSRU?
