I would only consider a F2a like mine if it where powered by the 582 rotax...there are some about,
Mine has a 503 and would be working very hard at your kind of all up weight...although I fly solo 95% of the time and its just fine for me...burning about 10lts per hour and give 700-800fpm climb,
A Blade 582 is a capable machine...available for 5K onwards.
Nick.
