Robert,
Where in the world have you found an R-680 powered Twin Beech? That has got to be an incredibly rare beast. I thought only one or two of the very first ones had other than Pratt and Whiskey R-985s. The early ones were much lighter, but, still, the performance had to be marginal at best. Have you ben able to get your hands on a manual for the R-680 powered model? Given that it would have been written in the 1930s when most manuals were pretty basic, I'd be curious what it reported about performance. Does the airplane even have feathering props? What is the serial number of this airplane? All the best, Rick "Robert Bates" wrote in message news:k4Cub.45679$Dw6.223691@attbi_s02... Does anyone have time in a R680 powered Beech 18? If so, what sort of performance numbers are they capable of and are they reasonably safe on one engine?
