It's just that he wanted 6 seats! :-)

1000lb load is all very well, but in my book that doesn't equate
to 6 adults! 600kg would be nearer if "normal" male adults are
called for. Would only be enough for 5 of me! :-)

Hi Paul,

the PC-12/45 will load about 600 kg ( ~ 1300 lb ) with full fuel and
without seats to be taken out. Correct me if I'm wrong, just iirc-data.

Regards,
Peter

Makes me think what the OP plans to do with 6 men in the plane...

*just kidding*

Plus you have a potty if fitted for passengers.

If I only fill the fuel to the tabs, I can carry over 1000 lbs payload in my
206 and still have more than five hours endurance.

OTOH, you could just buy a plane that has smaller fuel tanks and lose the
option of flying further if you have only a small load.

The new Piper 6X comes close at 828 pounds with full fuel :-)

If you're not in a hurry for it you could build yourself a Murphy
Moose.

Aahh. But then I would put in extra large gas tanks, and still be back with
the same 'problem.'

I am waiting on my Moose kit #and is will have the large tanks! With the
large tank option I anticipate being able to go fishing from place to place
for an extended period without returning to an airport. The Moose is
evidently proving very popular since I have been assigned serial number 241.

Cool. Which floats are you putting on it? Straights or Amphibs? I took
my Husky up north with Wipline 2100A's. What a trip!
