Hi Hartmut, Not as much as I was thinking then but still more savings then some of the suggestions such as instrument removal. What about performance? Is it less with the wood?

Not so much savings as one would think. Here is what the type certificate tells us: Sensenich 74CT48 or 74KT48 14 lbs. (-32) McCauley 1A90CF or 1B90CM (Model 415-D with C75 engine) +12 lbs. (-32) The savings would be only 12 pounds.
