Mike,
In 97 (last century) My IO 320 (with oil) equipped aircraft had an
empty weight of 1202 with 423 pounds on the front wheel (CG at 21.93).
That is, it was level, canopy closed, all parts in place, painted, interior
installed, etc.
I'd have to visit the airport for the hinge notch question since it
was built a long time back.

Working in
semi-darkness...
My "next question" for experienced 320/360
builders:
When you were installing the Wing Flap Hinges, did you
notch the lower wing
TE skins or the lower flap LE skins for the hinge
pivot points? The manual
(including updated (?) versions is unclear about
the correct procedure here.
Or perhaps there is a benefit to notching both
skins. Anyone's take on this
step is appreciated. Thanks in
advance.
PS: A recent preliminary weight-check put my nose
wheel weight (w/Lyc A1A
engine and 2-blade Hartzell installed) at 399.2
lbs. No firewall accessories
or exhaust system included in
check. Any comments or insights from those who
have gone
before.. are sincerely appreciated.
A great T-Bird Day to
all,
Mike W.
