Why didn't the Cessna 337 make it?

If you wanted to really use gas you could get the turbo charged version. I don't know how many of those they sold. We had one (turbo charged version) here on the field about 10 years ago. The guy said he'd always wanted one, but only kept it about a year. It was eating him out of house and home for gas and maintenance. I don't know if it was due to that specific plane or it was a trait of the breed. Not just turbocharged... pressurized AND turbocharged! I had forgotten, but yes, it was pressurized. They tell me a P-Baron is cheaper to operate and one whale of a lot faster. Being retired they are both out of my budget range unless I win the lottery. Then again, if I plan on that I should probably buy a ticket. Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com |
