How much faster are they? I plan 285 in my long body at 96% and the shorts will do 300 at the same power. That's without the MT's and mid-time engines. The 441 I flew briefly wasn't any faster from what I recall.

The AC695 did 310 true at 280, 75F below max ITT and 96%. I've not flown the two I mentioned but I've seen both of them pass me in the AC695.
 
We have had our IIIa on line for about 7 months. Performance is impressive, the -61's make it fun. Its easy to fly with the exception of big crosswinds where it becomes quite a handful. At cruise it is smooth and quite. Passengers are very comfortable with ample legroom in all the seats. I have been keeping 50-75 lbs of ballest in the nose to help counteract the aft cg issue it has with passengers in the rear seats. Please feel free to holler with any questions.

Congratulations! Part time, or full time?

Oh I hope it's very part time. Just enough to let me scratch the itch. LOL

I may have to hit you up. Not sure where I'll be going to school on it, but I'm trying to read up ahead of time.

331 to pt6. I had the same misfortune. You're not alone. I'm here for you if you need to talk.

Can I cry on your shoulder or would that be too awkward?
 
Yeh, that's what the owner said yesterday. I think the sim has been down or down recently at Simcom and they did the training in the plane.
 
Nothing more useless than the altitude above you, runway behind or fuel you left on the ground!

It's basically a turbine Navajo, which means it takes most of what makes flying a Navajo a pain ( managing the turbocharged piston engines and praying that one of them doesn't take the day off shortly after rotation) and gets rid of it. I'd echo the concern about age, complexity, and parts but it sounds like you're just flying it occasionally not owning or managing.

Do the engines get a lot of time off in Navajos?
