Thanks Coral Islet. But I have not bought the Twin Panda. Which is the Canadian built and certified version of the Harbin Y-12. The reasons are numerous. Most not related to the Harbin aircraft at all. The only real issue with the Harbin Y-12 is it's low cruising speed. Which for passenger service would not be advantageous. Especially since there would be some distance between stops. Meaning for my use it would be used only for cargo service. It turns out the AAC Angel aircraft is more suited to being a light lift aircraft for my needs. Having greater range per fuel load or higher cruise speed. It also is smaller and more adept at tight landings. We have pretty much settled on this case. I would agree the Y-12 would probably be better for short island hopping runs. So my case should not reflect on you choice.

...Beleive it or not I've been researching doing a small start up airline in the rough country of Canada, and Harbin makes one of the better suited planes for serving small tiny ice covered airfields. The Y-12. But in searching the net over, I can not find how much this plane costs anywhere. Can any of you guys find out? If they ask, I want 12-14 seats and a small rear cargo bay with racks/netting or boxes for packages. It must have full de-icing gear, heated cabin and weather radar, plus good blind weather avionics, especially altimiter, as they will be in mountain country. I went to Harbin's website, but the english portion does not give much information. Do not get them too excited, I'm also looking at the LET L-420 too. And at anyrate, this is for my business plan draft. So it'll be awhile before I'll know if financing is available. Thanks for your help......
