Oh well. I see several possibilities on the market but nothing that fits all of my wants and needs so here are a some questions. 1. My understanding of the standard gear is that the weak link is two-fold; weak structure and tires with a max load of only 500 lbs. In my engineering mind, if one loads three tires to max loading of 500 lbs each, that's a max weight of only 1,500 lbs. I know many are flying at higher weights. Are your tires wearing out faster? Have you blown a tire? Whats' the cost of an Outback retrofit, are the parts available and how long would it take? 2. What's the cost & time required to retrofit a Lagacy-type forward hinge and latch conopy on a 320/360? 3. What's the cost and time required to retrofit a short engine mount with a long one? I think these are the main items I'm finding with those on the market that I'd have to change. I'd appreciate any help here so I can consider the pursuit of other 320/360 models without these elements.
