My passengers didn't notice any bumps. The plane flies an ILS better than anything I have been in and is the only plane I have been in where u click off the Ap and fl280 and the plane will not move in any direction for almost a minute. It's a rock. Sounds like you really have it dialed in.

In other news, 200 hours in and 10 months into MU2 ownership and Maintainance has run 60 per hour. Had a boost pump and a strobe power supply fail which drove up costs. Had a loose canon plug on an unfeathering pump switch and a flat front tire between inspections as well. This plane continues to impress the heck out of me. Do 1300nm with regularity, hit 300kts at 280 even when it's warm and I am fairly heavy, and make more noise than anyone else on the ramp.
I always dreamed of flying a turbine and I have to say, it is better than I imagined. If these engines being able to go to 7000, it will also be quite 'economical' given my acquisition price. I didn't look at the picture closely but there is a SB for the -10 Garrett that allows a 7000TBO. From what I remember, there are limitations on utilization such that it needs to fly 35 hours a month, and run every two weeks ??? I can't remember exactly. Also, if you enroll in an engine program, it extends to 7000 hours.
