Curious for all you PC12 folks, would you ever buy a -41? Other than the lower useful load, what else is a negative compared to a -45? Is it fair to say that these hold their value far less than other models unless the upgrade is completed?

Personal opinion but I can’t stand flying them. They handle like @#$t. The early ailerons sucked. It’s still a pc-12 but hand flying them really is not pleasurable.

Have you flown a Twin Cessna?

Are there any -41s flying? If I remember correctly, making them a -45 is just a paperwork exercise.

Quite the unicorn then. They did not make many to start with (they only built them for 2 years), and every one I've seen has since been converted.

It's the same plane as /45, just a service bulletin to complete. The converted planes still have the /41 weights in the AOM, its just an appendix for the new performance charts.

Some people complain about the non-Flettner ailerons. I don't mind them, but that's a personal preference. You need a /47 to get the tabs.
