Anyone able to send me a copy of their 337 for a metal belly on their Maule?
Thanks

How much extra weight would a metal belly add?

What does it matter if it keeps the bullets out of your butt...

The belly is aluminum. It goes on in 4 sections. It weighs 11 lbs (primed and painted). A swag of another 2-3 lbs in screws and attach points. It was installed on the plane prior to my purchase ~30 yrs ago, so I couldn't tell you the difference between that weight and a fabric bottom. It is very sturdy and is really nice to have access into the rear of the fuselage when needed.
