Often referred to as "truck like" controls by the bonanza pilots  Which personally I prefer for a traveling airplane. It will stay straight and level much easier. Also seems better at altitude with a little more wing. load hauling beast

I just weighed the factory O2 tanks and equipment I pulled out of my T210N this annual. It brings my UL up to 1645lbs. Pull the seat behind the pilot and add another 27lbs. And brings the full fuel payload to 1,150. Crazy.

Also got some P210R time during service testing.

If the person who usually sits there has trouble climbing in and twisting into the seat, that could be an issue. Tom, Not a problem, just add $: https://www.wipaire.com/modification/co-pilot-door/ RAS

Is that smoking crack, or are they really commanding such a price ? I have a bunch of time in the 207. Lots of space or seats. Fwd baggage compartment- sized for triple mailers of soda. Those planes made money back in the day before Caravans showed up. https://asn.flightsafety.org/wikibase/387497This is one of them: Crashed and rebuilt because they aren’t making any more. https://www.aircraft.com/aircraft/20096 ... cessna-207The 206 was more of a sports car, better handling (although the STOL mod that dropped the ailerons, made controls much heavier. And, the back cargo doors are blocked from opening if the flaps were down.

Is that smoking crack, or are they really commanding such a price ? 207s are for hauling paying cargo and passengers <100 miles, and they're really good at it. They don't make as much sense for most private owners.

There’s an STC that resolves this by changing the hinge. The forward door becomes removable. https://www.airframeinnovations.com/pro ... ess-systemThere’s another that modifies the door so that the flaps don’t block it.

This was our C205. Almost the same as C206 but had a 260 hp IO470. We took it to Colorado a lot when my parents had a second home there. 4-5 + bags with half tanks out of Salida no problem.

I like this one, because no change in behavior is required during an emergency. The door opens the exact same way it does with flaps up. https://www.coastdogaviation.com/Cessna ... cation.php
I thought only the forward door was blocked, and you could open it enough to open the rear door.
An operational tip is that if the flaps don't work, it could be a fault of the door sensor.

Both of those are correct.
I really didn’t like the “open the forward door a little, pull the red handle, crack the rear door just a bit but not too much, push the red handle back up, open the rear door” solution because even though I had every rear seat passenger demonstrate it to me before takeoff, the accident files show that procedure doesn’t work in an emergency with brain fire.
If I still owned a 206 I’d put the flappy door mod on right away. It’s almost as important as shoulder harnesses.
