No worries...

I've also heard they're similar to the Beech 1900...any authoritative sources out there care to chime in?

The 1900 and 300/350 used to be a common type, but since has become two seperate types.
 
We file for 270 Ktas in the B200

whoa....

I've been choked up about the 40 gal/hour block fuel flows I've been burning in my 340, since trading up from a Bonanza.

I know you can't really compare the two like apples to apples, but out of curiosity....what kind of airspeeds are you getting out of the E90 and 200 while in the low 20's?

Apples - Oranges. As indicated, we get/file for 270 KTAS - B200 - PT6-42 and about 17 min to FL240 in summer. And note our Block Fuel flow is done from engine start to shutdown. I meant to add that the training notes given to me for the above example of a C-90 -PT6-21 flight plan 210 KTAS and the straight 200 -PT6-41 is 250 KTAS.
 
A 300 isn't a GW increased 200. It's a 200 body with 350 engines. GROSSLY overpowered. The dam thing will almost outrun a Citation and will climb like a homesick angel. Awesome airplane.
 
Actually, the 350 has the 300 engines, the -60's. The 300 started production in 84 and the 350 in 1989 or 90.

Just a technicality I know but hey. You are right though. I love flying the 300. Best KA in my opinion.

200/B200= 850hp a side
300/350= 1050hp a side

Pretty good deal on the 300. an extra 400hp for 1500lbs higher MTOW.

In our C90B we get 230 KTAS and about 200pph in the low 20s
 
220 per side right? If not then that's pretty darn good, lol
 
The 300 is the best King Air by far. The horsepower only tells a part of the story. When you convert the numbers to torque, the 300 has 3500lbs+ per side VS the 200's 2200 lbs for the same airframe. a Lightly loaded 300 will climb @ 6000 fpm.

Also, same type as the 350. The type was split from the 1900s when the 1900D came out.
 
Actually a 200 has 750 a side. a b200 has 850 a side.

i recomend the b200 over the straight 200 any day. plus with some raiseback mods u can do wonderful things. i have done fl330 in a b200. made for a long flight but the ff were worth it.

the converted lonestar b 90 i fly we plan for 247kts. and about 70 gallons an hour.
 
Again not to nitpick but the 200 and B200 have 850 a side each. The only difference is that the straight 200 is temp limited over the B200. Can't carry as much torque as high in the straight 200 over the B model.

-41's and -42's are both rated to 850hp
