Default RE: Twin Trainer

Bob and Ed

Thanks for the advice. Like I said, I've been flying for about 40 years. I started with a trainer and then moved into scale warbirds and big cubs. I've also spent time playing with ducted fans and eventually bought a kangaroo and got into turbines. I've have never really flown twins and that excites me. My old Byron F15 had two Rossi 90's and every flight was an engine out experience because the two engines in that airframe had a vibration when they where synced that would cause the carb mounting bolts to fall out and the carb would fall off and end up hanging from a fuel line. Funny thing was it was never the same engine and even loctite would not stop it. Since the engines where next to each other on the centerline there was no real issues with an engine out other than the lose of power. Bottom line for me is while I consider myself to be an experienced pilot flying singles, I've never really experienced multi engine flying and I think it would be great fun. You guys have been great and I truely appreciate your advice.

Thanks

John
