I have a RV8A with an O-360 and fixed pitch Sensenich prop.  I am considering changing to a constant speed prop, but I am concerned about the added weight on the nose of the plane.  My plane is on the nose heavy side as it is, and I would not like to make it any more so.  I am looking at the Whirlwind RV series.  Does anyone out there know how the installed weight of a Whirlwind prop compares to the fixed pitch Sensenich?  The Whirlwind prop and spinner weigh in at about 38# according to the folks at Whirlwind.  I was hoping to find out the weight of the Sensenich installation without pulling my prop.



Thanks,
