I am amazed every time I fly. In my opinion it is the best backcountry all around airplane on the market. I can haul 4 large people comfortably, 80 gallons of fuel, and 300 lbs of luggage. I can fly fast or slow. I have never taken over 800’ of runway fully loaded even with poor conditions. These long wings love to fly.
