OK!
I have read with great interest your comments regarding the Cessna 421 and 404. I worked for a very experienced Cessna dealer for a log time. We sold many 421, 414, 404 and operated this aircraft with no problem. You do get the fair wear and tear items but otherwise that is all. The main problem was the operation of the GTSIO 520 engines these did not stand up to abuse, you had to 'nurse' them and they were fine.
Don't you think that the understanding of these aircraft (and many more) is no longer available and getting things repaired is almost impossible. This is because the eng who looked after your aircraft is not there anymore, retired, got out!
I was bought up (since 1967) with Cessna/Piper/Beechcraft when airplanes were airplanes, with Avionics/electrics/autopilot and flight system and spares for these aircraft are no problem
Just PM me
