The 130 is a great ship if abit slow.Be very careful of the forward CofG when less than 30% gas and seven pax on board.Put the bigger people in the back which can be hard as they see all the room in the front.Bit limited with baggage space with the A/C installed.If it has floats get a trailer or chopper spotter as the wear and tear on the skids taking floats up and wheels on can get ugly.Close all doors with the handles and brief passangers on this as they WILL dent the door panels if they push on them.Other than those small things enjoy a great machine to fly.:ok: :ok:
