most multi engine "training" aircraft will not get you the high performance
endorsement..
unless there is a loop hole to add up the combined engine horsepower.
Seminoles, Beech Duchess, Twin Comanche and most Seneca's have 200 or less
per side.

Sounds like dad is trying to stay one step ahead of what you are qualified
to fly.

If I had a father who was buying a Baron...I'd get the multi-engine rating
right away. Time in the Arrow will not get you a high-performance
endorsement. Kill three birds with one stone. The Baron will get you a
multi-engine rating and complex time and a high performance endorsement.
You will also be ready to fly that twin when the time comes.

Now all this is assuming you can justify the massive increase in fuel burn
and multiplying that times 2, the increase engine amortization and
multiplying that by 2 and the insurance increase (not sure what that is).
I would also assume that you'd have to kick in a small maintenance
amortization per hour too. No?!?
