Re: Motor weights

My records show:
C-85 207#
C-200 220#
Lyc. 235 215#
Lyc. 0320A 243#
Lyc. 0320D 253# These may not be exact, but give a starting, "Ballpark" range.

Re: Motor weights

Thank you much...I ask this in questioning the possibility to stc the 0235 into the gilbertti stc etc...it seams that weight is then negligible..I had read somewhere that the 0235 was 245 or 250 lbs and this would throw me out of what i was wanting...i also saw that they made a 135 hp 0235 and thought that this would be a good choice considering the number of them out there it may be better than the 0200 conversion

Re: Motor weights

You will need to find a lyc cowling then or use a cub nose bowl with a custom cowling. The alaska boys used the cub nosebowl on the 320/360 conversions. Tim

Re: Motor weights

If a pair of shoes have a left and right and a pair of pants can have pockets, why can't a paradox have a front and back?

Re: Motor weights

But looking on the data plate for the powerplant in the Tcraft is says Continentals Motors, we had the discussion in High School, long, long ago, far, far way

The discussions stems from the technical definition of motor and engine.

It goes something like this: a motor takes in power and converts it to motion and an engine takes in fuel or energy and coverts it to motion.

So an internal combustion engine is not a motor. It seems that the common usage has deviated from these definitions and they have morphed a bit.

Re: Motor weights

The internal combustion engine is of course not a motor but an engine, motor is the "mover" so an internal combustion engine used to move some thing (ie. airplane) is a motor.
