Best,
Dave Dave, It's hard to believe it has been 2 1/2 years since I purchased the 58P. It treated me well. Thanks for all of your help with weather last winter. If it wasn't for experienced guys willingness to share with me, I would be way behind. Best,

Username Protected wrote: Congratulations! Beautiful! Sooooooooooo..... Why not a Duke? Might have something to do with 2,500lb UL. 600lbs of baggage can go in the nose. It will take full snow ski gear up front as well (it's long if you hadn't noticed). Wing lockers rated at 40 and 200lbs (40lbs with 28 gallon nacelle fuel tank). Aft baggage is 500 lbs located to the rear which is behind all of the seats, potty, and refreshment center. Six 190 lb. folks , 40 lbs. bags EACH, and 800 NM is easy. With normal load the range is closer to 1100NM+. Cruises at 200-220KTAS depending on power setting. It's very stable and quiet. The props are geared 2:3 vs. the engines so you've got six big paddles swinging 1,700-1,800 RPM which makes headsets optional. It's not a Beech, and that shows up in the interior plastic design and some of the flight characteristics. I'm used to a sporty feel. It's not that. It's a cruiser.

Jesse, I agree you have a great plane. I have had mine since 2005 and flown it just over 1,000 hours in the last six years. I just finished flying it through Canada and Alaska. The 421C hauls a big load (mine 2315 lbs UL) with lots of cabin room just about anywhere. You will really enjoy all the flexiblity you now have. congratulations.

Very nice Jeese. The 421 was on my short list, but the plane seemed like it would have too much ramp presence for my style. Though it certianly has a lot of capabilities.
