C310 Vs B58

Here's the story of the original 310 development & why the tip tanks were thought a great safety feature. Written by one of the engineers on the program:

Defining the Cessna 310 - Air Facts Journal

Many years ago I heard someone at Hazelton's flew a 310 (in the early 1970s), without the tip tanks. The story going around at the time was it was noticeably faster, but a real slug off the ground and in climb.

Maybe some older ex Hazelton guys know the story??
