Tom,



At 1318 pounds empty, it does seem a bit heavy.  You don't mention whether it

is painted or not, or whether you have the MKII tail and/or the extended

engine mount.



My 320 weighed 1160 (CG 21.3) at certification in primer, no interior, no

paint.

It weighed 1183 (CG 22.5) at 1st annual, no paint.

It weighed 1202 (CG22.3) after paint. The paint was a white urethane

automotive with the trim color including a black undercoat, 2 color

undercoats, 2 color coats(2 pts BASF "Extreme Rainbow") and finally, 3 clear

coats.  Note the empty wt. forward CG and I am using a Hartzell constant speed

prop, small tail.



Arnie Christen's 360 weighed 1087 (CG 24.1) at certification in primer, no

interior, no paint.

It weighed 1168 (CG 24.6) after paint and interior. Note the more rearward

empty wt. CG, he is using the MT 3-blade constant speed prop and also the

small tail.
