Used to fly G-PARA, a 207 in the UK for skydiving - did lots of flying for 'werski in it
Used to climb slow when full, was rather noisy until we started reducing the prop for takeoff which made a lot of difference and very little performance change.
Try flying it with 3 parachutists in the door and 3 outside the door at 10,000'..................... Oh heady days indeed, still miss them though
