TU206G useful load
Technical and practical discussion about specific aircraft types such as Cessna 180, Maule M7, et al. Please read and search carefully before posting, as many popular topics have already been discussed.
Hey guys, looking for specific examples of the useful load of a TU206G model on wheels, if you've got an example I would sure appreciate it! If you could also describe the setup of the plane, mods, tire size, etc.
Thanks

Useful load is 1428 on our ‘78 Tu206. We weighed the plane after avionics upgrade. Tires are 800. No significant mods.

Not answering your question with exact examples. You will have to ask the seller. There are 2 different G model airframes. Bladder wings and Wet wings. The wet wings are heavier. Looks like 100# heavier. I never owned a Turbo 206 but they are another 45lbs? heavier for the turbo and usually have O2 systems in the back to balance the turbo so heavier again. Start with the gross weight of 3600 lbs, or 3800 lbs if you have the Flint tip tanks. The tip tanks weigh 40lbs so a useful load increase of 160lbs.
