601XL with O235 Lycoming

Posted on March 22, 2010 at 12:00pm 1 Comment 0 Likes

I am installing a Lyc. Promotional material indicates a empty weight a about 800 lbs. I believe the MOD will increase this by about 25 lbs. Some of you have completed the MOD. How do your weights compare? For Lyc users-Empty Weight? Regular or light weight starters and alternators? Prop type,pitch,dia? Cruse speed? Rate of fuel burn at a specific power setting. Where is your battery? What does it weigh. Did you have to add ballast and where? Anything else?

I'm using a O235 Lyc and would like to hear from other builders.
Weight with or without paint? Lightweight starter/alternator? Type and location of battery? Fuel tanks? Prop-Make/Dia/Pitch? Cruise speed at what RPM? Any thing else that comes to mind. Ed Hamilton (609)971-8757(30 mi North of Atlantic Cith NJ)

Her grave was unmarked but I found it and put a headstone on it. Her husband...James...then moved to Michigan. My brother has a ton of info on all this....sorry it took me so long to answer...taking care of health took all my time...Jim Albee

What model 601 are you building? My EAA group is building an HDS and we have a Jabiru 3300 (100HP) on order. The fuselage is mostly done and we are now closing out the wings.
