Question 0-235

Does anyone know the real installed weight difference between the 0-320 and the 0-235?

The exact number is hard to give as each dash variant is slightly different in weight.

Since you asked for the installed difference, assuming they each have the same options installed (prop, mags, carb, alternator, probes, etc.) then the difference in installed weight should be close to the same as the difference in raw weights. FWIW, my Catto prop is 9 lbs, a FP metal prop is 40+ pounds, and constant speed prop can go much higher than that once you add in the prop governor, control cable, plumbing, etc.

The following is from:
