Check the parts cost on the 0-235 Lyc. I've heard they are quite expensive. My advise. Go with a good running 0-200, keep the empty weight to 650 lbs or less ,(not like my 765 empty) and use the longer wings as in the Diehl skins. You will have a good performer, even at your altitude. I think Jeff Scott flies out of a 7000 ft airport in New Mexico. He probably flies solo most of the time but he's not a little guy either. :-) Larry Flesner
