I haven't heard anyone mention a 58P. Thoughts?
Limited production, less than 500 built over nine years. Same reliability issues as any retro-fitted pressurization of what was originally a non-pressurized hull design. If it was a good idea they would still be making it.
I know one pilot at our airport that has owned one for many years. Loves the plane, but it's a real maintenance hog compared to the conventional version of the Baron. And every time he has a problem with the pressurization the plane is grounded...it can't be flown non-pressurized.
Personally I would not have much interest in owning a pressurized airplane hull that was not designed from the outset to be pressurized.
Have you considered the Piper Malibu/Meridian?
