MU2 v P337

Been turning this one over in my mind. Contacted your friend and yes, it's a pretty bird. I love the idea of 9 moving parts in my engine instead of 300+.
But that MU2 is flown by a professional pilot, not some 61yo physician with 800hrs that began 7yrs ago.

Think I'm stepping back to my original plan of owning two 337s as a means to have one flyable all the time. Pouring $s into #1 engines, a P337G with every electronic thing imaginable; and have several candidate #2s also P337Gs from Bill Crew's stable and elsewhere.

The pilot is the most fragile, failure-prone part of the whole air safety system. Might be best to spend my next 10yrs flying just to getting to know this one aircraft inside out.

NB: I was gonna get my CFI. Last February, two days before my checkride in a C150 contaminated with ice-then-water, I had an engine out at 300' with nothing but an oak forest in front of me. We stopped treetops at 70' for 0.5 sec, then descended to the forest floor. Yet I and my CFII (she 32 and 7.5mo pregnant) escaped without a scratch. But two of the three were deeply changed on the inside.
