Did you find a plane that would accommodate your weights in terms of gross
weight? 220 plus 240 plus full fuel and any baggage would be about
750 pounds to the airframe of 1150 - 1200 pounds? What's the factory
gross weight spec. for a 320/360?

I disagree. I spent several months looking at over 50
LNC2 candidates to
purchase. I looked at every conceivable
configuration there is. Paramount
with me was CG. I'm 220 lbs.
and my son is 240 lbs. so putting two heavy
people in the seats and staying
in the CG envelope was critical under all
circumstances. I found an
overwhelming number of aircraft that simply
wouldn't work for me. And
I found none of the short mount configurations
would work, not one.
Tail type had no bearing whatsoever.
