Question:  How can the ES-P have a higher gross weight of 3550 lbs. than the ES of 3200 lbs?  Are they not built on the same fuselage and wing?  I know the Turbo-charged version of the IO550 weighs more and they also utilized the outboard wing lockers to take the fuel capacity up from 95 to 105 gallons which will increase the overall weight of the aircraft when filed to capacity.

Am I wrong in assuming that both models use the same wing and wing spar? Or am I being conservative in using Lancair's published brochure weights of 3200 lbs for our ES?

By the way, does anyone have any flight test data for stall speeds on their ES?

Thanks for the help and clarification as I am revising my POH.
