What is the flight duration of the Talon? How far can I fly?
The range of the Talon varies depending on the model, engine used, loading, and fuel capacity. The TalonXP equipped with the standard 11.75 gallon welded aluminum fuel tank and Rotax 582 C drive, with 70 inch 3-blade prop can fly for at least 2.5 hours at 68mph. A TalonXP equipped the same, but with the HKS 700E 60hp four-stroke engine, can easily stay aloft for over three hours with a reasonable reserve. The single seat Magnum and Typhoon can easily accept the the optional 22 gallon welded aluminum fuel tank. Equipped with the Rotax 503, these performers will far outlast most pilot’s bladders. It is common for Talons to fly 250 mile legs. Many pilots carry up to four 6 gallon plastic jeep cans in the back. Just pop out the rear seat and you have ample room to haul all the items you need on those long, extended cross-country trips.
