When searching for a 320/360, I strongly recommend checking the W&B sheet
closely and running a few calculations on how you plan to load it.  I
searched for 9 months before I found an acceptable 360.

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Subject: [LML] 235 vs 320 differences

A friend purchased a flying early 320 and soon remarked to me about how
squirrely it flew. I told him that my 235 didn't have any of the bad
characteristics he was describing. When we examined the CG in our individual
airplanes we found his CG was much further aft than mine in my 235. He added
a nine pound dampener to the end of the crank and that moved the CG forward
and the aircraft flew much better, but he still was not happy with its
flying characteristics. As I recall fairly early in the 320 production
Lancair started offering an extended engine mount and longer cowl to address
the CG problem.
