* In some regulatory environments, operations may need to remain below 55 lb or below 25 kg. Meeting that regulatory category may require a lower maximum payload. This is a regulatory classification, not an aircraft limit.

Note: all specifications above as at sea level and level flight conditions.

Published one-way and return ranges are specified with a 2.5 kg / 5.5 lb payload. Total payload capacity is up to 4 kg / 8.8 lb.
