under contract on N265 # P3370232

This Super Sky Rocket looks like a really nice aircraft on paper. We are starting the pre-buy and I have had good input from Riley and Rick Rossner. Does anyone have any backgroud information on this aircraft and reccomendations for a potential new owner.( 337 training) I need a multipurpose aircraft for both low level photographic work(two pax) and cross country. Is this realistic or will I potentially have eng temp problems in slow flight with this aircraft. Are the performance numbers accurate (2500 fpm/875fpm SE)?Thanks for any input.

What engines are in the airplane you are looking at? If they are TSIO-360s the rate of climb figures you provided are ridiculously high. At gross weight (2 people, bags and full fuel is close to gross in this airplane) your rate of climb will be on the order of 1200 fpm on a good day, or less. Your single engine rate of climb will be a bit less or a bit more than 300 fpm depending on which engine fails, on a good day. If you have the larger engines, you are looking at a nearly one of kind aircraft (I think there are two of them), and I can't say what the performance will be.

I would ask the someone what they think has been done to the aircraft to get over twice book performance.

How slow are you going to fly?

If it's a Super Skyrocket, they are TSIO 520s, and the numbers listed are what Riley posts. I saw a review in one of the aircraft mags years ago that thought they were pretty close.

he says it's a Super. TSIO 520's.
That's the numbers Riley posts on their website. From seeing one take off, I think it must be relatively accurate. They can really climb.
