$180,000 of upgrading later, it would have been interesing to see how my plane would have fared. Unfortunately I...

Thanks for the input. However, when one reads through Hartzell's web pages, one would swear only everything good is to come from installing 3-bladed props, from torque, power, speed, climb,...

New prop: 2 vs 3 blades?

Tony,
I remember, before I had the Skymaster I was reading up everything I could about it. I even got a POH copied to read. The landing gear in particular was difficult for me to understand, since I...

My two cents on 2 things you mentioned:
Fuel. Every time I refuel, I do it to the rim, and then work out my consumption based on the hours in the Journey logs. Quite consistently, my fuel burn is 17...

Same problem here. Been to the shop, more times than I can remember. Replaced each part of that system at least once. Still no hope. Now I ignore the needles and fly by weight/amount of fuel...

I think most of us land our 337's at higher speeds than what they can really do (human nature, maybe). Think about it: Vs=65 KTS and Vso=52 KTS (for my plane), and still I land at about 75 KTS. These...

I agree with Roger. My trips are usually 300+ miles, and I generally fly them in the 9500 - 13000 ft range. My 337 is N/A. No T, no P, not even O2 built in. Instead, I have the "tank+snorkel" from...
