Questions about Skymasters

[Mark Hislop]

Colin:

Where are you located. I'm sure you are close to one of the members of this group who would be happy to take you for a ride. That way you could get a better idea of just what you are getting in a P or T or normally aspirated 337.

If you are any where near Aurora, Il, (ARR) I would be happy to take you up in my 73 P337.

I have owned two Seneca II's and now my 337. the maintenance costs have been just about identical. I have never had a pressurization system related expense. I have not had any more expense with the turbos or controllers. I loved my Senecas, but I get about 5-10 knots more airspeed from the 337 at the same fuel flows. (For that airspeed, I trade off baggage space and a little bit of cabin space.) The P or T models give you a great deal more flexibility on weather avoidance and flight planning. All of them are easy to fly.
