"Grasshopper" wrote in message I have young kids, so I figure the total weight for us is about 1,000 lbs (2 adults and 5 children). Or does having a Seneca I or Seneca II configured for optional 7th seat force you to reconfigure with smaller tanks? I saw that both the Seneca I and Seneca II have optional 122 gallon capacity. Would having the 7 seat configuration make the optional long range fuel no longer an option? You might want to expand what you are looking at to the Aero Commander 5/6 series. As an example. a 680 has a usefull load around 2600 pounds....7 seats and full fuel plus baggage. Sure, it's an older a/c, but properly taken care of and handled (if you have a model with geared engines) they will outlast you and your family. I looked at the Aerostar, but the 500B twin commander from the mid 60's is like $200K. I want to try and stay under $100K, which I can do with a Seneca I or Seneca II. What are your thoughts in my purchase price constraints? -- ____________________________ Ah, Young Grasshopper. Sometimes it is eyes that blind a man. |
