How much is reasonable for an S1S to weigh empty with an angle valve IO-360 and a full electrical system?
I'm looking at one that's around 890 lb.
Is that reasonable with a metal fixed pitch prop, plywood leading edges, spring gear, 4 into 1 exhaust, and an electrical system?
I still will have to add a lightweight transponder but I think at I can keep that to ~2-3 pounds installed with one of the newer units.
I've looked at the forums and I didn't see too many weights with the heavier angle valve engines published.
