The twin accident statistics are one thing.
An individual's skills, judgement and training will cause a specific outcome that may or may not follow the statistics. true...i have heard it stated when a engine goes out in a single...there is no doubt you are landing soon...in a twin, the challenge is to keep it flying one one..... |

In a twin, the remaining engine will take you to the scene of the accident :-) Being current and proficient is the key, but that adds to your expense. |

I get 160/165 knots true airspeed on 20 gallons/per hour. Extremely economical to own and operate. The down side is lack of baggage room unless you have a belly pod. I removed the aft 2 seats and only use mine as a 4 place, so this gives me adequate baggage. Insurance is reasonable also. |

True Cost Of Twin Ownership
Takes care of the "yaw" factor, when a motor goes out, right?
I like to looks of the skymaster...But, for my profile, training, and hrs in type...I am sticking to high performance, single engine cessnas... 182rg, or 210 most likely......looking for a partnership somehwere along the colorado front range airports....I am kaning ocassional flights to Hermosillo Mex.... FWIW, I currently own a 1974 Cessna 337G Skymaster. This is my second one (the first was a 337A model). I get 160/165 knots true airspeed on 20 gallons/per hour. Extremely economical to own and operate. The down side is lack of baggage room unless you have a belly pod. I removed the aft 2 seats and only use mine as a 4 place, so this gives me adequate baggage. Insurance is reasonable also. -- rotor&wing |

A 182 partnership was advertising on the BJC terminal building bulletin board. I'm not lookin' for a 182 so I didn't pay a lot of attention but I think they were selling 1/8ths for about 10K and they had a substantial engine reserve in place. -- --- there should be a "sig" here |
