Hello!

Welcome! Glad you found us and tell us more about that FP -320 Decathlon please. What's the empty weight? When I was starting my 8KCAB project, that's the model I was going to build but I couldn't get new wood spars so it ended up as a CS -360 Super. And pics please, we love pics!

I bought the project dissasembled after the left gear attach bolt broke on landing, had never been replaced. I bought new wings from ACA, and did the prop strike AD 91-14-22, checked the crank runout inspection Lyc. SB 201E and accomplished Lyc. SB 505B crankshaft I.D. inspection.
I used the Soper Flight system, with exellent results. Installed new instrument pannel an all new wiering and breakers, all new radios, etc.
My empty weight is 1270. I was able to do all the work myself ass I am an A&P IA.
I will try to post some pics as soon as I understand how, looks like I cannot post diretly from my computer filr without loading them on a server, is that correct?
 
thanks for the info. with two 200 pound pilots you've still got room for 20 gallons of fuel? not bad for an 8KCAB!

@Big Ed what's your '78 Super D empty weight before starting the project?

posting pics is easy, watch the video I posted above and just ask if you have any questions about how it works after that.
