Ec 130's are good for one thing and that is carrying passengers, and anyone who thinks you cant put full pax and a heap of fuel is full of S#$t.
An average 130 is about 1450kg (Air con, leather,etc) and all up weight is is 2427 kg so with 977 kg up you sleave you can take full fuel (437 kg) which still leaves you an average pax weight of 77 kg and keeping in mind that is with full fuel.
Myself i think 130's are a waste of money compared to a A119 for similar dollars but great passenger machine.
Not to mention all up external weight is 2800kg so at all up internal weight you are getting out of a confined area without to much trouble.
