From actually doing it myself I know it was possible with both of my P337s. I also know the POH of a normally aspirated one demonstrates the ability to climb with the rear engine feathered too so I wouldn't put much stock in a random video on the internet as gospel.

Did you hear this from someone that may not know what they're talking about or did you experience it for yourself? Mine would climb with the rear engine feathered. It was a P337 but I can't imagine a regular 337 wouldn't do the same. In my training for my ATP I shut down the rear engine and...

I signed up in December for July.

Mission changed and went back to a single. I have a Bonanza now.

I just did the 737 sim in July. Highly recommended. I need to schedule the Airbus.

Neither statement is correct. There is a required placard that mandates leading with the rear engine on takeoff, then add power on the front engine. See photo. Power comes off both engines equally upon landing. It is very easy to tell which engine failed - simply look at the fuel flow first...

I've had two 337s, actually, both were P337s (pressurized). They are reasonably safe, and reasonably fast on reasonable fuel with a reasonable useful load and reasonable insurance and maintenance. I liked mine although I preferred the Horton STOL over the Robertson STOL. But that R/STOL was an...

310Q, from the Airpark where I live.

I get asked for my last IPC every time I complete any insurance application that I'm a named pilot on. Currently, that's three airplanes. But then again, the least complex airplane of those is a Mooney 231. (P210 and 310 are the others). Maybe in a 172 or equivalent, they wouldn't be asking.

I've had a couple of P337s over the years including this one.

Glock 29. More foot-pounds of energy than anything its size and I shoot it well.

I've owned two Barons and one 310 and I agree. I like my 310 better than either Baron (and one was a Colemill).

I'm in Tucson, it is a short flight to Casa Grande.

Be sure to keep us updated. If possible I would like to participate.

One data point. 1965 S35 Bonanza. Insurance is $1,380 for $100k hull value. Annual was a bit under $3,000 last year. Land lease (I own my hangar) is $125/mo. I change my own oil but figure four per year, one of which is included in the annual amount, $100 each since I put in the full 12 quarts...
