How does the Lycoming powered Moose compare to the M14 Moose as far as
empty weights?
How accurate are the numbers on the Murphy website?
Thanks,
Bill

I don't know about the Lyc vs M14 specs on the Murphy site, but the
speed #'s are pure fantasy. 8.5x6 tires and (at) 17gph w/ the M14 I can
maybe get 120kts.

I think the M14 Moose runs two to three hundred pounds heavier than the Lyc.
Typical M14 Moose with no modifications seems to be around 2000 to 2100
pounds. Lots of mods and your into the 2200 to 2300 range. I have not seen
one under 2000 empty yet. I know of a SR 2500 that came in at 1700 but that
is an original not the 3500 upgrade and no interior, no exterior paint.
The MAM specs page has a few errors, as Ted pointed out the speeds are
"optimistic" <grin>.
Also if trying to plan for building space the length is wrong on their site.
It says 23 feet. Actually it is 25' 8" from rudder to nose of prop on M14
Moose. Fuselage with no rudder installed to the firewall is 20' 4".
FWIW
