Basic weight 3,121 kg!!!! That's the early Series 200 weight - they've pulled 400 to 500 kg out of the aircraft!!

The PT6A-34 conversion is an STC and a number of Series 300 aircraft have been converted, including ex Talair and MAF aircraft. Interestingly, the engine will be flat rated at 620 ESHP - memory is fading but I am sure the original -27 and the -34 conversion were both 650 ESHP.

Looking at the speeds, they have either cleaned up the airframe or are a bit optimistic.

The price is very good!!
