Info on the Dash 8 300/Q300

[speed freek]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some info on the Dash 8 -300 and the -Q300. Things like ZFW, MLW, MTOW and Max. Ramp, service ceiling, speeds, engine specs, etc. Plus any differences between the two, and which one you prefer and why. err.....not much really :O

Thanks in advance,

Speed freek.

The Q300 and 300 are the same thing. But it's just the 400 that gets called the Q400.
