I think you either made a math error or mis-typed. 88 gallons of fuel is 520 lbs, so if the useful
load is 1400 lbs, then that leaves 880 lbs payload, not 1065. Maybe you meant adding the flint
tanks gives you an additional 200 lbs useful load, and if you leave them empty it gets you close to
that 1065 lbs. 1065 is only 15 lbs more than I get with my more or less stock Six, although I can
only dream of 150+ kts. What kind of fuel burn do you get at that speed?

A 206H has just under 1400 lbs useful. If you add Flint Tip Tanks, it
will be 200 lbs additional if you don't put fuel in them. So, roughly,
that leaves 1065 lbs payload with 88 gallons. With small gear, 156-158
kts.
