What is the single-engine small plane with the best range?

Wow, thank you very much for all your tips and insight.
I am presently in Waskaganish James Bay for a court session and it is
pretty hard to find an internet access so do not feel offended if it
sometimes takes long for me to answer your post.

Some people made comments on the weather and they were absolutly
right; the weather up north can turn really bad sometimes and in
january, it can go down to minus 50 celsius easily. Therefore I would
not use my plane as the only travel mean. I do not have the
experience to travel in snowstorm and I would surely use the
commercial planes for these kinds of weather.

As for the idea of using a Kit-plane, I have to agree that most of the
experimental planes seems to have 1000 nm range and minimum cruising
speed of 150 knots. However, I have to be honest with you and my tools
hability is pretty limited to putting the family BBQ together and I'm
not sure how easy it is to use an experimental aircraft for business
use

As for the destination I gave example of in my original letter, they
were all from my home town, thus Puvirnituq(over 800 statute miles)
would the longest run, they do not add together and there is always
community with airport every 300 miles or so, so refuelling is not a
problem per se, (I know a guy who went up north with a cessna 150,
took him almost two days...) the goal is more to make the experience
efficient since refuelling is really time-consuming.

And yes, I would be travelling over land with nothing but rocks and
water under me so I would probablyu want the Best ELT and I already
own a satellite phone.

As for the price range I guest it could be streched if it is justified

Thank you very much for yours comments again

Bob

As I read it, he needs about 1900 statute miles plus reserves and something more
for wind. As I understand his post, one of his destinations is 850 miles away
and he would prefer to avoid having to refuel there.
