Piper?

Having a huge payload with full tanks just means your tanks are too small.

I really like you Jay, but I fail to understand why you continue to brag
about
your payload with full fuel. That's just not a useful statistic. What's
the 6's
payload if it carries just enough fuel to match your full fuel range? I
don't
know the answer, I just think it's a more useful way of looking at the
question.

I know this has been pointed out before, and yet you continue to talk
about it
as if payload with full fuel is an interesting number.

Full fuel payload is a critical benchmark for measuring the utility of any
aircraft. In fact, I would say that it was THE major reason we opted for
the Pathfinder.

If you can carry a larger payload with full tanks, you can obviously carry
that weight farther than the poor guy who has to leave fuel on the ground.
Better yet, if you off-load some of that fuel, you can carry an even
GREATER
payload. This gives you a far greater degree of flexibility than you
would
have if you could NOT carry that payload with full tanks.

I really like you too, Dave -- but I fail to see why you cannot understand
this very simple concept:
