Rear engine has cooling issues. It's a 336, so the let's say... interesting RG system isn't a factor... the fuel tanks are bladders from what I remember and have issues... They are extremely slow for their fuel burn, and are ALWAYS in the shops I worked at.
Ask Wayne Westerman about the Skymaster. He's got well founded opinions on them.
If money and shop work were not a factor, I'd fly one. Decent performance, and I like how loud they are inside (though your pup might not like it!)
The specifications show range of 880 NM with 93 gallon fuel capacity?
That is only 9.5 GPH? On two engines? That can't be real? 15 GPH more realistic maybe?
170 MPH cruise? 15 GPH? Not quite as good fuel mileage as the 150/150, eh?
