Hello

Thanks for your answer.

I will definitively try to find one with a stole kit. But if I need to install one :

- which is the best stole kit on the 337
- what is the cost
- on my 206 I have Vortex generator , does it efficient also on the 337

Welcome to the forum!

Is the 4400 lb tax limit based on Certified GTOW? If so, that limits you to '67 models or earlier, which have a 4300 lb GTOW. There was a T337B that was turbocharged but not pressurized with the 4300 lb limit.

All the pressurized airplanes '73 through '80 have a 4700 lb GTOW.

Hello
Thanks for your reply.
Sorry I do not know what is a GTOW and if the MTOW is based on it.
But the 337 P N119XU for exemple which is a 1975 P model had a MTOW of 4'400 lbs.
I would like to find a 1975 /1979 Turbo charged model but I do not need presu.
Thanks

GTOW = Gross Take Off Weight, should have used MTOW

The year models you are looking at have a Max TOW of 4700 lbs. Is the tax determined on Max Certified TOW or the actual TOW?

This plane is now sold... it was just to tell you that this model receive a modification and on the document it was a 4'400 lbs
That s why I am looking for a TURBO non presu and then try to add this modification.

By the way... if you know a nice school I plan to come in the US to pass my multi engine Licence and if I have time the IR qualification ..

Thanks
