Never flown a C414, but that's an aeroplane that has appeal to me - always enjoyed flying the 402.
Never flown a Crusader either, but it always seemed underpowered to me. what is it, 520 hp total cf 600 in the 310 airframe? The engine choice was a response to the "oil crisis" of the early 80's. I wonder how a Crusader would go repowered with a pair of IO550s?
