What can I expect the empty weight of my 601 XL will be when its done - less the weight of the engine and paint?  Assume a stock build with minimal instruments and minimal corrosion proofing.



Thanks for info!

Hello

I was thinking about the same thing. What would the weight [approx] be with a 0200 engine installed?

Thanks Don

Hi Don,



The AMD web site shows 770 pounds empty weight for the factory built 

XL.  I believe this model includes the Continental O-200.



My informal examination of many LSA specs seems to indicate using an 

O-200 or O-235 adds around 100 pounds to your empty weight compared 

to a Rotax or Jabiru installation.

I am installing the Continental O-200 in my 601 XL, the people at Teledyne 

Mattituck told me the O-200 is 215 pounds with accessories, the Jabiru is 

listed at 180 with accessories.

Were those weight wet or dry? How much oil does the Jab hold? (6+lb/gallon)

Hi Dave, I did notice that Zenith does not have the empty weight of the 0-200, I am trying to find the best engine to useful load, the Jab just cost to much, and would like to know the empty weight on yours when it is installed. Thanks Tom

The main difference between a Corvair and O-200 are: 

.. starter, alternator, fuel pump 

.. intake manifold 

.. weight

The weight of my 601xl, Jabiru 3300 with paint and upholstery, ready to fly less fuel came in at 744 lbs.  This includes the Dynon D180 and a Dynon D100 for instruments, and a Garmin transponder and Icom A200 radio.  I hope this helps!
