    No way to the 200 lbs. Why do I say that? because you can delete almost all of your list. The engine at the 125lbs. comes with everything except the exhaust, weighs about 5lbs. The radiator, about 3 lbs also, expecially if you use the aluminum one. Hoses, you need two aluminum ones to the radiator, they were so light, I won't comment on what the weighed. I had to put on a very small amount of hoses, maybe 2 lbs worth because the rest came on the engine. Look at the list of what comes with the engine, the mags are part of the engine, altenator is part of engine(you have up to 18amps), the oil tank is part of the engine. I put on the K&N filter, these things are light. No prop governor, electric.

    Water in the system is about a quart and a half. Oil is 3 quarts. The mount was supper light. clutch is part of the engine. Oil cooler was supper light.

    Like I said, dry weight on the aircraft is 650 do the math yourself.

    This is directly from the Rotax site.

    The raw engine weighs 125 lbs then if you need any thing from the accessories list you pay extra money for it then add its weight to the core 125 lbs, pretty simple stuff.

    I'd suggest you don’t know what the all up weight is of your engine install is?

    But why are we talking 912 anyways? Way off topic.
