Actually, can a 6, 7, or 9 do this?
350lbs pilot and pax
50lbs bags
95lbs of dogs
(I am picturing bags custom designed to fit the baggage floor, only be 6-9" thick, and thereby provide a surface on which the dogs can lay/be secured)
650 NM with reserves
My guess is no - too much weight aft, too much "meat", not enough fuel. Some flights would only be 200lb pilot, no pax, but this does not help the floor weight nor aft CG....
I wish it could, but it looks like an older Deb or Bo would be the right price and have the ability.
Any other sub $70k experimental options to look at?
