Default D-18

I've had a D-18 for 6 years. Power is G-38's and seems to be plenty if you watch your weight. Mine weighs 40 lbs. with about 1 lb of nose weight. It was my first twin. Don't horse it off the ground, let it run out and you'll be fine. Guys get out of shape on take off and tend to forget about the rudder AND the throttle.Be prepared to pull the power back a tad and catch up or abort it and start over. If you fly the beech in crosswinds enough it will happen. Good Luck.
