Still
There is no consensus that I am aware of about your particular IA wanting to do most of the inspections.
In, fact, that is a good thing. Everything except the wing pull.
You may want your IA to...

Not BOBBY!!!
Yo, STATOBEE, Hang on there, Dude.
If you were looking for a reasonably priced Skymaster, why aren't you bidding on one of those??
Spend your money, or NOT, and stop the whining. A Skymaster is not...

There you go Stratobee.
Real world numbers from people who own Skymasters. Depending on location, you can count on higher or lower numbers for you annual. You'll still have the whole insurance...

Well, as others have pointed out, with limited funds, you might be better off buying a vintage corvette. Of course, some of those cost more than most Skymasters, and therefore are out of your price...

2009
The actual NPRM was posted in 2009. It hasn't been published as law yet.
It's become a big deal, because people finally noticed it.
The rule says units that transmit on 121.5 will be illegal. That...

Interface with GPS
What is involved in interfacing the ELT with existing GPS installations??
Is this a huge (expensive) job?

Emergency Locator Transmitter
I notice that the FCC has submitted a NPRM that would require all 121.5 MHZ ELT units to be removed from service. Conversely, the FAA requires an ELT on all aircraft. The function of the FCC rule...

Get Real
This is supposed to be a valid test.
Do it over the water. See what happens. It's amazing what a little reality dose does to your pucker factor. And the validity of your test.

Load it up, then fly it the way you want. Fill it with sand bags, cement bags (they are readily available). Put in as much or as little fuel as you want. Then take it up to 5K, and shut down an...

I forgot
you wanted to do it at 25/25, or reduced power.
Not the wise thing to do. POH says max power. Do that, you can stay up.

Follow the POH
Feather the engine that doesn't work, because if you feather the engine that was working, you got a lousy glider.
Close the cowl flap doors on the engine that isn't working.

More to the Point
Here's an article written by someone who ACTUALLY flew to Bermuda. Kind of the difference between a baseball player, and someone who writes about it.
It's a little out of date, 2 years, but has good...

question
What kind of Skymaster do you own?
If none, then I would recommend a P Model to get above the weather you would encounter on the northern route.
It will save you a lot of grief, instead of adding...

Well Said, Mr. Harney.
Live within the limits that were established at certification. If you can't do that, then enjoy the life as a test pilot.

Useful Load
Do you mean from the factory, or after Skyrocket LLC got through modifying it, or after someone else put their spin on things.
The max weight on a P model is about 4700. It can be increased, as a...

Buy IT
Times a wasting
You want a plane, go buy one. Can't find what you want, keep looking, it'll show up sooner rather than later, as long as your looking. Don't look, you wont find it.
