Models Differences Table

A Brief outline of the models by year with major changes is outlined in the
table below.
During practical training, reference should be made to the flight manual of
the aeroplane you will be flying to ensure that the limitations applicable for
that aeroplane are adhered to. Likewise when flying different models it
should always be remembered that MAU, flap limitations, engine
limitations and speeds may !ary between models and with modifications.
Before flying different models, particularly if ma"imum performance is
re#uired, the A$M of the aircraft you are flying should be re!iewed to !erify
differences.

Modifications
%ommon modifications include the famous cargo pod, floats, most of the
common 4;1L kits 6eg. @obertson and 4portsman7, additional fuel tanks and
!arious engine modifications including a turbine !ersion. Details on common
modifications a!ailable are outlined in the table on the following page.
At present there is no A@9A 6retractable gear7 !ersion of the %&'+, as offered
with the )'' series %essnas ;his is presumably because of the similarity and
success of the retractable %&)' on which the %&'+ was based.
