Jamair,

Is that a C310R mod or is it standard???

Also I reckon:-

C402B v PA31-310/325, Navajo wins.
C402C v PA31-350, close one.
C310R v BE58, load wise 310, pax wise B58.
C404 v ???
C421 v PA31-350P

There are many pros and cons for each type. Realistically though ya can't beat a PA31-350 with the VG kit and Red Leg kit, likewise a C402C with VG kit and or Scimitar Prop conversion.

C310R with VG kit can carry way more than a B58...

Question why doesn't a VG kit increase MTOW on a B58? is it to do with the wing? Again why does a VG kit give a C310R a large increase yet a C402B a small increase. By far the VG kits seem to be unbelieveable for the 402C and PA31 with around a 300lb increase.....

Oh I don't reckon ya can beat a C182 for good clean fun...

HA
