Looking at the design of the C377, it seems like it should have been more

a winner. Why did it flop?

Most people purchase twins to go fast, carry a lot of people/cargo,
and have the redundancy of a twin.

The non-turbo'd C337 only meets 1 of those requirements.

Having said that, Riley takes P337s and swaps the turbo'd 210HP
engines for 310hp TSIO-520s. The plane is called a SuperSkyrocket,
and is appropriately named: 2500fpm climb, and 300mph top speed.

And they sit there for sale for years and years...


Hell one of them is "only" $199,000, a lot of airplane for 200 grand.
