I'm green with envy... of the TBM! Still a VERY nice Skymaster.
Have you compared direct operating costs between the two birds? I'd be curious to know. |

Regarding comparing expenses, none for me; all my personal flying is covered. TBM uses 45 ~ 70 GPH per hour, depending on the performance profiles... 280K ~ 320K; FL240 ~ FL310. |

RSM location
Great panel! I was thinking about the Aspen E5, but the local avionics shop never worked on a skymaster before and didnt know the best place to put the RSM. Where did they put it on your plane?
Thanks!! |

Call that what?
300 knots on 60 gph? Around 5 mpg Not significantly much more fuel than a 337! Its not GPH but MPG that counts. Oh yes, and overhaul, maintenance and insurance. A C172 only uses 10 gph to go what, 105 knots? So maybe 10 mpg. -- I have a friend who prattles on about Mooney fuel efficiency. I have told him, "It is not polite to discuss fuel efficiency in the presence of twin owners..."

On top of the cabin, back my the rear engine intake. I will get a picture for you.
