Ok, here is another light
airplane that I have heard of.
Bill Bartlett posted to the
list last year with an empty weight of 918 lb for his 235
with full panel and leather
interior.
I am not sure which engine he
is running but assuming a 235 engine.
You add 40 lb additional
for the 320 engine and injection and a net increase of 30 lbs to replace the
fixed
pitch propeller
with constant speed and you are under 1000 lbs.(at least he would
be)
I may be dreaming but that is
my target weight...empty with IO320 and mt 3
blade prop.
A 2 place lancair under a
thousand pounds with an IO320 and constant speed prop would
be a very nice airplane. (if it
is not ugly)
Go ahead and
laugh.
I will post the good the bad
amd the ugly when the project is complete.
