The T210 is on my short list of possible planes for purchase. Do you
think it was that particular airplane, or 210s in general?

I'd opt for a T210 that is no older than a 1970, and I'd go with the
newest, lowest time model I could afford.

Correct, a 58; I now have a B36.

Either that or he had a conversion, or he fat-fingered it and meant
that he had a 55 or a 58.

I almost bought a 114TC back a few years ago, but got a "really
good
deal"
on a T210, which turned out to be a maintenance nightmare.
Traded it
for
a
B56 which turned out to be even worse and kept neither one more
than 9
months each (okay, third time was the charm when I got my B36).

Geez,

No wonder you're down on Barons! You do realize that those
TIO-541's
are not typical of the fleet's maintenance level???

Pardon me? The Baron and the T210 both had Continental 520's.
AAMOF, my
B36
had one when I got it and that's why I opted for the IO-550 when
they did
the conversion/overhaul.

In truth, the Baron was LESS maintenance than the 210 (it was,
though, 12
years newer), but the gas and insurance was so much more and for
hauling
two
or three people was overkill. The 210 was a mess from the
standpoint of
hydraulics and avionics/electrical problems.

Mine may have been a "lemon" to an extent, but then I frequently hear it was
certainly not a unique situation.

newest, lowest time model I could afford.

Mine was a 1978 and I bought it in August, 1998 and traded for the Baron it
in May, '99. So how a 35 year old model would fare is a interesting
question.

John, you've posted this exact same message 5 times between Sunday and

If he's posting thru google groups beta, this is a known problem. Don't
always assume something like this is the poster's fault.

I've been having trouble sending messages. Agent (newsreader) keeps
saying that it's not going through, then 5 copies show up.
