Gary,

Thanks for the clarification on the 235.  If the main spar is exactly t= he same as the 320/360, It was way overbuilt for the 235.  How the devi= l did anyone build a 235 at an 880 pound empty weight with the same wing as=20= the 320/360?

Let's see:

235's can be different:
Ventral fin, flap operation, nose gear change, 290/320/other engine, fuel lo= ads, etc.  all adding weight.

320's can be different: larger horiz stab, longer engine mount, 360/360-turb= o/other engine, prop type, fuel loads, outback gear, wing extensions, etc, a= ll adding weight.

The Legacy seems pretty resistant to changes other than engine and minor fue= l load.

The IV/P, Winglets, Air conditioning, any powerplant built on this planet th= at produces more than 300 HP and video game panels.

ES ?

Yep, these are planes with incredible "customization" abilities.  The e= dges of the envelope are always being tested by someone.

Having fun,
