Now before I go for a ride in your plane, first let me ask you about your…………..
Gary,
Thanks for the clarification on the 235. If the main spar is exactly the same as the 320/360, It was way overbuilt for the 235. How the devil did anyone build a 235 at an 880 pound empty weight with the same wing as the 320/360?
Let's see:
235's can be different:
Ventral fin, flap operation, nose gear change, 290/320/other engine, fuel loads, etc. all adding weight.
320's can be different: larger horiz stab, longer engine mount, 360/360-turbo/other engine, prop type, fuel loads, outback gear, wing extensions, etc, all adding weight.
The Legacy seems pretty resistant to changes other than engine and minor fuel load.
The IV/P, Winglets, Air conditioning, any powerplant built on this planet that produces more than 300 HP and video game panels.
ES ?
Yep, these are planes with incredible "customization" abilities. The edges of the envelope are always being tested by someone.
Having fun,
