So is your flight leg to Hawaii going to be similar to the ones the guys recently did in the 210 (on YouTube)? That was a interesting video to watch. Man they were carrying a lot of fuel and you could see that takeoff seemed pretty stressful. IIRC, they even required a special permit to takeoff over gross. Also the early part about pumping the gas and the engine not liking the air so they had to transfer gas to another tank first. I liked the HF radio location. Looked like it was on top of the fuel tank and from a ham radio shop
One thing (amongst many) that I would have surely missed was the extreme over gross weight effect on early cruise speed. Its like they were getting faster and faster but with no real way to predict it they actually had to fly it and see what it was doing to verify.
