From memory the range used to be somewhere around 900-1300kg depending on config (ie. basic acft equip/what sort of survival gear/cargo net gear etc/chairs in or out/fuel etc). One thing about utility vs skydive is that MLW can become an issue on short legs. I think raising this (and also talk of raising MTOW) is on the agenda with the factory. Loads can come reasonably close to Twotter in and out of some performance limited strips.
