How many twin beechs had problems with the GO-480?Ack...Gopher engine. No thanks.
Eh? Twin Beeches have radials. You mean T-bones or Queen AIrs? Only thing worse than one geared lycomings is two geared lycomings.How many twin beechs had problems with the GO-480?

guess who copied the Do-27
Did you also notice that the early Helio was a production failure and wasn't brought back until much later?So the Helio which first flew in 1949 was copied from the DO-27 which first flew in 1955?
I didn't know that. That is so amazing!
It's okay. I've already lost track of how many times ATC has called me a Baron. I think I might have even been called a Bonanza once.Eh? Twin Beeches have radials. You mean T-bones or Queen AIrs? Only thing worse than one geared lycomings is two geared lycomings.
It isn't that important. So get over it.You still can offer no proof that Helio copied the DO-27 because you can't.

No, your just making a big deal over a minor mistake. I think that must make you feel good or some thing. Or you believe under 2000 aircraft from 2 companies is a success.Yeah, I think that was Tomlish for 'I am wrong'.

They were both descendants of the Fieseler Storch (along with the PZL Wilga on the other side of the iron curtain).
That is certainly more believable. I am willing to concede that the Storch possibly influenced the development of the Helio due to their respective timelines but I am not certain the Helio is its descendant. Do you have a reference for that?
I don't have one of those, I guess I'm not a real pilot. (sniff)
