    Any idea what the installed weight difference will be to a 912 or 914? This is really exciting and I'll be making an engine choice for my SuperSTOL in the not too distant future...

    Looks like Teal answered your question, but I wanted to add that with Steve Henry on your side you have a totally unfair advantage over the rest of us if you end up going Yamaha! 

    If his headers, motor mount, and other fabricated parts would have bolted up and fit my KF like they would on a Just firewall I woulda bought them in a second!

    Yes, it is great that Steve is really figuring all this out. It is nice to have the FF option from him. I look forward to more flight reports by him.

    The FF intalled weight of the RX1 with everthing on it is aprx. 165 lbs depending on radiator and header choices. The Apex should be about 8 lbs less. The 912 FF is about 150 lbs. The 914 is aprx.175lbs. These weights are aprx. And I would love to hear anyone chime in on their actuall measurements. As a reference bare engine weight of the RX1 is 118 lb. So add carbs, airbox, radiator, exaust, ecu,voltage reg., oil, coolant. Gearbox/adapter and misc. Plumbing.

    Thanks for the quick response Teal. That is useful info. So, the 162hp quoted for the 2011-2017 Apex motors, is this continuous hp or something else?

    Awesome Teal! Very nice. Can't wait to hear about the flight testing. Please post pics once you get it installed.

    Thanks!
