TJ,

Congrats on the Lear Type. Hope this doesn't mean you will disappear from the MU-2 community!

Nossir... In fact the Lear Electric Steering took a dump and the turboprop had to rescue!

Wow ..
Really? I will check ours again. I didn't even look as the aircraft was quite hard to control.
No way I was gonna try it.

Edit: You are correct! Wow. But maybe try that another time lol.

For some reason, I prefer the 31 over the CJ3...
Check out my vids on the 31:

Great video.
The gear sounds funny to me when its out on approach.

I've only flown 2 different S/Ns but they were both same.

Interesting with your UNS CDU on the panel.

It seems that the previous owner, Walmart, thought that CDU position was better. Compared to the "normal" location, my neck said it was better on the main instrument panel. Haha

Friend just purchased one. Its stuffed in my hangar and I needed a quick gouge on how to connect it and tow without damaging which was easy... tow bar didn't arrive and just drove it into the hangar.

They've offered to give me a type rating, which sounds neat... but for the time and wah wah wah maybe I should just do it lol.

Frankly the Mu2 looks like a much more difficult airplane.

Jet = easy plane to fly. The least challenging plane I owned was an old TS-11 Iskra trainer. Push the button to start it, push the happy lever forward to go fast and back to slow down. Point it in the direction you want to go and forget about everything. No mags, no props, no mixture, no problems. Speed management and running out of fuel was your only concern. Most challenging plane I have flown is a Cub. I have always said that the least capable pilots are flying the hardest to fly aircraft.
