Default 2.8 lb. engine?

Some where I have read about a fellow flyer getting a conversion down to 2.8 lbs. I think it was. But I can't remember where it was and unable to find it. Can anybody help out? Thanks

I'm also working on a Tecumseh 49cc. Right now it's at 3.0lbs less carb, hub, ignition and muff. I still have a large hunk of crank to cut off yet. My estimated weight, 3.2 to 3.4 lbs. Now, how well will it turn a prop.........we'll just have to wait and see.

I will post them in the Engine Conversions Forum when I get it done. Ignition and prop hub are on the way.
