Swaid,
There is NO difference between a 360 and a 320
airframe. Just depends on which engine you use. The 235 airframe, however, is
considerably different from the 320/360. It is smaller, the flaps are hinged on
the upper trailing edge vs lower skin on the 320/360. The stock 235 has a rubber
doughnut type nose gear dampening, the 320/360 have nose gear oleo struts. The
235 has rectangular engine inlets, the 320/360 have round. I believe that these
are the major differences. There are probably several more minor differences.
There are examples of 235 airframes with 320 engines but this does NOT make it a
320. Considerable cowling and engine mount work are required to fit a 320 or 360
engine in a 235 airframe.

Subject: [LML] Difference between 235 & 320
airframes
Hello everyone,
What is the difference between the Lancair 235 kit and the 320 kit besides
the obvious engine size. I was told the 320 and 360 are the same kit, is the 235
kit much smaller? There is a flying 235 with a 320 lyc. in it for sale on
Barnstormers for the low 30's and I am curious if that is a good deal.
I am familiar with the LNC4PT. Have flown & maintained one for 7 years
and involved in a build of another one.
Thanks,
Swaid
