Always thought the PA44 was a nice little twin.
Two 180hp Lycomings, did I read most reliable Lycoming somewhere.
Certainly backed by my experience.
Cheap because the flying schools don't have customers for them, since the CAA pretty much killed off the twin rating.
Name a school that operates a twin, if not doing IR's.
We had Senecas, Apaches and Seminoles 15 years ago.
Not any more.
