I saw this advertised on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mini-...QQcmdZViewItem and couldn't help thinking about BWB. I guess it's time to rehash the subject and maybe warn an unsuspecting buyer. |

Notice they said that they did not have the mast support. That gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling. Not! -- Jim in NC |

Ahhh...That thing is actually over 5,000# empty and over 8,000 gross with a useful load of almost 2 tons? That's what the add says.:-)) Yup. Just what I wanted.

Roger,
Look carefully at the figures again... I don't recall the exact numbers right now but they're something like 550lbs.. Looks like 5501 pounds at first glance but really 550 lbs...

Some of us "greater than standard FAA pilot weight" folks appreciate that useful load :-) As it happens I have a bit of experience with a Mini-500. Here are a couple photos.
