doesn't make any difference, if you have an engine monitor, you can do a GAMI lean test to see how wide your fuel flow spread is between first to peak and last to peak. If you get a lot of rough...

I used a battery powered Power Tow when I had my T337G. It did okay but it was definitely working hard to push the plane uphill when full of fuel. Very easy to maneuver the plane though. One of the...

Max pressure differential on the P337 is 3.35psi. Should hold a 10000ft cabin at FL200 with either engine running. Check the flap cables, they make a sharp bend and the damage is hard to see, Cessna...

Aero Air is a good shop, but they mostly work on turbine equipment. Northwest Aircraft Maintenance, also at HIO took care of my P337G for the three years that I had it. Rian and Dirk are good honest...

I think your idea of offering a discount for annual training is a good one. When FlightSafety had a 210 simulator, I went there annually to take their training. Not required, but my plane was a...

David, the 337 should be one of the safest planes out there, but the experience with it has been different. Pilots don't take it seriously enough. One thing I have learned is the thing that is the...

"The MU2's were intriguing also.
But the accident reports always seemed to read the same:
"The pilot had 5,000 hours in make and model"
"The wreckage was spread over a file mile radius"

FWIW, I am a 62yr old physician! The MU2 is my first turbine, and yes it was a big learning curve. I figured if I was going to get an MU2, better do it before my brain was too fossilized to learn...

I don't have a Marquis, I have a 1972 F model, the "low performance" MU2, only 260KTAS vs 300KTS. Burns less fuel though. Training was $6K initial and will be $3K annually. Insurance was $9K for...

I agree with all that is said about the 337 and how easy it is, that why I bought one. Not sure I agree with the MU2 stuff. It is different and has to flown differently, but once you understand those...

Tim,
polite suggestion, do what I did, sell the Skymaster and find an F model MU2. Way better plane, but more expensive to operate, not that much more, but more. You do get a lot for the money...

The P337 only goes up to FL200. It burns 24gph LOP at 65% power there and will do 185KTAS at that power setting. It isn't a bad aircraft by any means, actually very easy to fly and very stable in IFR...
