facthunter Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Can't remember anyone saying good things about them. There are some things relating to quality. Talk to people who work on them. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben87r Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 One running charter up here. Can't say I've herd anything good about them apart from jokes. No time on them tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maj Millard Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Have considerable time working on them, including zero timing the wings on quite a few. Also put one back into the air after it sat derilect at Hamilton Island for some time. They wern't without their problem areas. The later model with the RH cockpit door and metal leading edges is a great improvement on earlier models but still uses a lot of early less than ideal areas. Best thing about them is that they use the IO 360 Lycoming and CS propellors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank marriott Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 We operated a couple of them over a period of 20 years. Found them to be cheap enough for initial twin training/pvt hire but also useable for IFR twin CHTR. Long range if your load is light enough to be able to fill the 4 tanks, somewhat limited with 6 POB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZJohn Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I have spent a fair bit of time fire spotting in a couple of them and they are pretty marginal on a hot day. Like a lot of light twins 6 POB is a bit squishy. And can't take full fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
