This airplane has an empty weight of 1,000 pounds without people, oil or fuel. That leaves 600 pounds. If you have one 180 pound pilot youhave 420 pounds left. If you fill the thing FULL of fuel , 26 gallons at 6 pounds per gallon, that's 156 pounds. That leaves you about 250 pounds (factor in oil as well) for tools of terror. Nope, that wouldn't do a whole hell of a lot at all. But you would need several gallons of paint.
