Scott,
<<How the devil did anyone build a 235 at an 880
pound empty weight with the same wing as the 320/360?
I don't think anyone did. If they did, it was an
O-200 or O-235 engine, a short prop, no interior finish, minimal avionics
and instruments, no gadgets, very minimal paint, no electric aileron trim,
no strobe or navigation lights, and no ELT. (advantages: less
stuff to go bad)
In the very early building stages (way before fast build
options), the factory downgraded the builders degree of main spar closeout, as
it was deemed unnecessary.
