I had commented to Dave privately earlier on this too.  I also thought I 
must be getting weaker.  I have moved one down from an attic, and I would 
have guessed it weighed more than 44 pounds.  Isn't there a 2500, a 2500A 
and a 2500B?  What are the differences?

For the record, Dave said his manual cited the weight at 44 pounds, and with 
it packed in an appropriate Pelican case, his weighed in handily under the 
old airline max limit of 70 pounds.
