Earl, 1. The wingtip is different 2. The POH claims the wing fuel quantities are different (11 vs 16 gal). If the wings are the same, why? 3. Same airfoil, but 320 fairing is at flap -7*, 235 fairing is at flap 0* even though the flap is raised to -7* at cruise. Also, 320 flap max is +45* while 235 is +25* (is this because the 235 tail is smaller?). 4. Max Gross wt for 320 is 1685 (more recently 1800), 235 is 1400 pounds. Maybe the skin molds are the same (?) but are the spars the same? If you are flying the 235 with a 320 engine, could you elaborate on specs and performance, including dealing with the engine weight difference. Scott Krueger N92EX
