Rat****, thanks for the tips on those two options. Good ideas indeed!
Squawk.....you are probably correct, they do overcook their published numbers, I think 156 at 75% yet the publish Range at 55%......hence i quoted a nominal 150kts just as a round number so someone who is not familiar with it can comment not thinking its a C208 or C172.
Sunnie.....yes they go alright on gravel and grass, but they are light in the u/c department for really rough strips in my opinion too. This one is not my aircraft (I use grass and gravel anytime) so I would be planning for better than rough strips.
Thanks for the suggestions folks, any others would be interesting too.
