plane to carry bikes?
("karel" wrote)
Apart counting $, let's count weight. A GoldWing weighs in at some 400lbs, I should guess? Generally two people on top, another 300 lbs? So 4-5 times 700lbs = +/- 3000 lbs payload plus fuel plus luggage plus whatever...? My (1981) 2 cylinder Yamahopper 650 Special II weighed 450 lbs. New Gold Wings are 1,832cc behemoths. Gold Wing = 800+ lbs. GW Riders = 400 lbs per couple (approx). 1,200 lbs x 5 = 6,000 lbs DC-3 http://www.baslerturbo.com/specifications.html Basler Turbo Conversions BT-67 Between 3 and 4 miles per minute @ 100 to 150 gallons per hour Montblack
