Re comparisons.....

I well remember the day at YPKG in an AC-50 which is 'supposed' to behave 'well' on one......

3 POB, not quite 'full tanks' and on a S/E approach, had a 'single climb rate' comparable to...the venerable 'Twin Com'. in that it was a negative for the density alt of the day....so, we quickly 'relit' the other one and climbed away....safely...

NOT to be 'fiddled with'.!



And, just for the 'heck' of it...I did my 'Initial Twin' in good ole' DFH, (PA-30)mostly at Camden, and 'BARELY' missed the hill on a EFATO....TORT ME A LOT!!!. Thanks AL......

Sorry for the 'drift' Mr 'K', But....T'was givin me the 'whoops'!!!

Cheers
