![]() "Montblack" wrote Here you go Jim - From NC, Pusher-Puller Twin-Rotax 582's ...Italian job. G G "The Tucano Delta3 TW (twin-engine) represents the successful attempt to cope with the quite often disagreeable consequences of an engine breakdown. It has been extensively tested with excellent result." First of all, let me say, "you are really cruel." That out of the way, g even if it had 69 Rotax 582's, I would not get into it. The two strokes are not suitable for flight, IMHO. They belong in Sea Doo jet skls, where WHEN they quit, you can sit and wait for a tow back to the dock. If they used two stroke Rotax engines, I might be talked into _riding_ in one, depending on their single engine service ceiling, and other performance parameters, with one engine out. The saying about "two engines means there is always an engine running, to get you to the scene of the crash" holds too much truth. I still would not own one, because there still is an engine to keep running, and now there are two engines to keep running. It sounds like a maintanence headache, to me. It sure is an ugly little beastie, isn't it? I though the Italians were supposed to be known for their sexy, stylish sports cars, and stuff. It sure didn't carry through to this airplane. You just love throwing salt into open wounds, dont't you? Shame on you! ;-) |
