Anyone out there know the approximate weight of an R-2800 QEC with all accessories.

I’ll guess around 2,500 lbs, maybe a bit more.

I estimated the R-2600 engine and storage can at 3500lbs if that helps

Thx guys. Years ago an old army aircorp guy told me about one pound per cubic inch so I just wondered how valid that might be. Sounds pretty close

1 pound per C.I>
