I was going to say the same thing about "underpowered" but the one and only time that ever came up in the past, wasn't very pretty

Thank you Larry. Earnie, you are correct, of course, I have very little computer and internet posting/chat experience (relatively speaking), I was worried about the wording of the question, I should have put reputation in quotation marks. I did understand that that reputation was undeserved, and that some twins can not even maintain altitude, let alone climb on one engine. I have no modifications envisioned except the autogas and aero clean up type, if stock parts require replacement.

From this time, I have a time frame of 30 months to prepare for the move, retrain, and buy and service a 337.

Great feed back, thanks, I realize it takes quite some effort to reply with clairity and conciseness, cheers. Don't you just hate those trolls who have to belittle everyone everytime about everything.

I do not know how to apply a pic to this post, but look up Toucan ultralight airplane , Comments?

Very nice but where do you store the 2nd engine.

Hello Jeff,
I live in Calgary and fly out of CYBW, and own N81C a 1973 T337G. When we purchased the plane it had a long list of mods, wing tips, extensions, MT props, etc. Slowly for various reasons (AD) sensitivity to rock chips on the rear prop etc we have been removing all of our "tric parts", and I have to say I think the plane operates and performs better in stock trim than with all the other stuff. On hot days going west ( MEA 16k) loaded at gross we get 500 feet a min at 120 MPH indicated, which is fast enough to keep all cyl temps below 380. I don’t ever remember seeing anything less. We are turbo charged and inter cooled. (is that one word?) Good luck on your search, there is a plane listed out of Victoria that has a Canadian reg but I think a substantial amount of deferred maintenance.
