Default Buy a Cessna Mustang jet at Sam's Club (another "Its the End of The World As We Know It..." ?)

Sams Club is great! Where else can you buy a 55 gallon drum of Nutmeg for
$8.00.

But you probably won't be able to carry that 55 gallon drum in the Mustang
with full fuel. I noticed this...

Full Fuel Payload:
With one pilot (200 lb) --- 600 lbs. (272kg)

So 800 lbs with full fuel. That's only a little less than double what my
Zenith 601 will be able to carry with the tanks topped. A lot faster
though.

I dare say that "full fuel" in the Mustang will take it a lot further than
your plane as well.
