Crab,

What do you include in that ZFW? Seems quite a lot to an old ASW driver, our APS was about 13700lbs (IIRC), including all the old 195 sonar gear. I thought the earlier SAR Sea Kings (Danish and German) had ~7000lb fuel capacity, do I read that yours are only 6300lb?

I agree the Carson blades will be a big improvement; are you getting them?

TIA
