I would love to hear comments from current and past 336 owners on what you like and dislike about the model. I do not want a retract and am transitioning from a '64 182. I do a lot of cross country flying out west. The terrain alternates between a lot of nothing and a lot of unbroken pine forests. I like the idea of the second engine a lot. Am I just fooling myself into believing that a 336 would be safer for my kind of flying, (especially at night)?

I don't want to open a can-o-worms, even though I realize this is a variation on the old twin vs. single question. I'm just interested in opinions about the 336 from those that have actual experience in one.

Thanks!
Bob
