Kyler,

(Sound of head slap) You're absolutely correct, with GAMIs the Aztec
will make the range easily. I've used them in a couple different
airplanes and they truly do what they say they will.

Hmmm, in something over five years of owning one I think I only filled
the seats on one trip. Eventually took out the right middle seat
because there was no need for six seats and it gave a lot of leg room
for the person in the right rear and allowed putting a small heater in
the cabin that I could run while the engine heaters were warming
things up out there.

Thing that really used to bug me was that the heater would decide to
trip off about every fifth or sixth trip in very cold weather. Never
figured out why.

All the best,
Rick

If you can get high enough, it can unless the winds are nasty. That
is if you can go direct. (Kitty is giving me a backrub and reading
over my shoulder, pointing out my errors...)

If GAMIjectors do what they claim, it'd be even easier.
