Guys, I am trying to layout my radio and equipment in my first jet with respects to the C/G suggested. My motor is on back order, so I only have a web page to go by for the motor weight.
What I am asking is , when the manufactures give their motors advertised weights on their web pages, iwhich is 3.5 lbs on my motor, will this be just the motor, or would this include the weights of the motor, motor mounts , pump and ECU ?
Also, does anyone know the total weight of a Jet Cat 160RX/180SX including the mount, pump and ECU ?

Thanks

RE: Motor Weights

Some manufacturers have been known to exagerate engine specifications for competetive reasons. For unbiased data I suggest that you refer to the Engine Performance Comparison in the latest edition of RCJI. They show Engine weight plus Engine Ancillaries.
