No, mine is getting new panel still. Unless the mechanics took it for a spin..

Username Protected wrote: False modesty or olive branch reach outs don't become you. ;) Agreed, which is why this wasn't false. Low wing advantages: No ladder to fuel. Easier to check fuel cap security. Easier to preflight wing. Landing gear simpler, shorter, wider stance. Less empty weight. Less chance of walking into prop. Less chance of walking into engine nacelle. Less chance fuel vent drips on you. Easier to work on, no ladder required. Easier to deice. Probably some more I have forgotten... Mike C.

The MU2 looks like the progeny of a Lear 25 and C130....I like it.

can someone give me realistic numbers for a Marquise?
- Max realistic altitude? - Full fuel payload? - Full fuel range if flown at max realistic altitude? - Fuel flow at max realistic altitude? - Rule of thumb first hour fuel burn, and every hour after that. - Max summer and winter speeds?
Thx
