R680 Powered Beech 18
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? |

A Bamboo Bomber won't hardly stay up with one running. |

I did not refer to a Twin Beech as a Bamboo Bomber. Simply stated a BB with similar engines has trouble staying in the air on one engine even though it is a considerably smaller airplane. |

I missed the part in your original post where you mentioned that the Beech 18 "is a considerably smaller airplane". Or where you pointed out that the two aircraft have similar engines. I guess you wrote those bits in invisible ink. |

Anyone else have a problem with it? -John *You are nothing until you have flown a Douglas, Lockheed, Grumman or North American* |

Bomber won't hardly stay up with one running. That seems way underpowered for Beech-18. Fully loaded, the R-985 Beech-18 is interesting single engine. -John *You are nothing until you have flown a Douglas, Lockheed, Grumman or North American* |

... [...] You mistakenly thought he'd said that the Beech 18 was smaller. The "BB" in Dave's sentence means "Bamboo Bomber" not Beech 18. You are right that I miswrote my reply. However, the point remains the same, regardless of which plane was being described as smaller. His response was noninformative except to people who already knew the information he conveyed. |
