Can anyone give me a rough estimate of what their IO-540 and the aluminum
propeller weight is?
Just trying to do some planning estimates.
Thanks

IO-540 (C4B5) is somewhere around 420 lbs
2 bladed Hartzel is approx 80 lbs
Someone else may have more exact numbers.

Or you can think of it as $100 per lb..... For both the engine and
propeller! Pretty scary...

Rick - How far aft will the empty CG move with the light front end?

Not too concerned but the W & B will tell....I think I will be able to get rid of the bag of lead in the back seat when flying with just two like during my demo ride in the factory RV-10.
My initial thought is the lighter front will create a more balanced CG. There are others with the same combo so I'm not to worried. Besides....weight is a whole bunch easier to add than remove.

Rick,
I have a three blade MT prop (love it) but no light weight engine (Aero
Sport). My CG only moved aft a small amount - not enough to take the shot
bag out of the baggage compartment. My experience has been with one or two
folks on board I make better landings (still waiting for that perfect 10)
with the shot bag in the back and two notches of flaps.

With the hartzell up front and full fuel and two people (front seats), we
find that it handles fine on landing if you just don't use full flaps. Full
flaps makes it a little harder to get the nose up.
As was mentioned before, it is always easier to add weight that to remove
it. Just be careful when flying full (at or near gross) because then your
CG will be further aft, which is worse.

I wonder what is different about #2 demonstrator/prototype as far as
W&B/CG with the lighter Cont. IO-360 up front. It would seem that
similar adjustments could be made if you planned for lighter
engine/prop combination while building the fuselage.
