9.5 hours is impressive. I cant do that on "only" 30 gallons of fuel.  Yes, I can fly my 601 all day without wanting to get out.  It is that comfortable.

Hi Steve,

I have been doing some long flights myself. I recently added long range tanks to my 601XLB and can now carry 200 litres fuel. I last flew for 9.5 hrs and covered 1050nm. I fitted nice thick cushions in mine and find the aircraft very comfortable. The 601 is really an amazing aircraft.
