European Skymasters

[Bob Cook]

Welcome aboard "Mate". <G>

There are a couple of English Skymasters. The other board (see reference on this board) is run out of england. I know there is one in Germany, couple in Italy and one in Sweden.

Not heard of the noise issue.

Reason for being reaonable priced is explained in archives on both boards. In short, they are not "mocho". Secondly, being CLT you cannot gain multiengine time (side by side) or at least a potential employer considers them a "big single".

They are exceptionally safe. No engine out problems. Most of the heating problems go back to the 336 not the 337. Good short field performance and running off grass strip is no problem. Horton stall kit is prefered.

They should be great for Europe, especially the Turbo'd 337 due to mountains. Single engine service ceiling is around 18k ft for the "p" version.

I am sure someone will pipe up from Europe to answer the other questions.

Again, rummage thru the archives on Peter's board and this board.

cheers

Bob
