Yup, a bloody great amphibian with eight wheels, and can come with a frame on top that weighs an extra 140 lbs. With mud, probably another 50, and comes just inside the payload range of a 206L by 1 pound if you take the ski basket off and remove the survival kit. When you have to land with 140 lbs of fuel, it doesn't leave you much range!

Tip: Make sure you get the customers to tell you when they have left two spare batteries in the back!

Thanks, DAR for your explanation
