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

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.


Well of course it will but it won't take four grown men and there luggage
and golf clubs which I would expect for $2.75 Million.


Sure it will. ZFW is about 2400 lbs.
[Too quick] How far can it take those four and luggage (say, 1000 lbs total)
on 1400 lbs of Jet-A?
