And one more time, let's hear it folks.........MU2's are POS
Well I don't mean to disrespect your opinion Con, but from my recollection of corporate and charter operations in almost all the turbo-props in it's class, the MU-2 had a lot of bang for the buck, easy on maintenance, easy on batteries, easy on fuel, and fast.
One of the weakest parts of the MU2 was the Bendix A/P's that were installed, but hand flying it is enjoyable, my only other complaints were on the early models that were a bit weak on power and fuel controllers (Bendix again) were dodgy.
Out of all the other aircraft in the same class, like BE200, Cheyenne, CE441 and SWIII, the Solataire is my favorite, if I was a rich AA pilot, it would be my dream to own one!
