Turbo Lance II opinions

My first airplane was a 79 Turbo Lance. I bought it for the roomy cabin
for my dogs, reasonably fast cruise and fairly good altitude capibility.
It was a releative bargin compared to other six place, 170+kt, turbo
airplanes. I found it to be a good airplane for me and it met my
expectations. Mine had most of the availible speed mods and an
intercooler which I recommend. I only had if for about 16 months so I
can't tell you what the long term cost of ownership would be.

With all that being said, why did you sell it so fast?

I needed an airplane that could cross the Sierra in virtually any weather so
I needed deice and radar. I was making flights where I had to be at the
destination.
