Yup robroy youre absolutely right I dont know what made me put that up there .Lapun pinis?
EXcept.......
I think it was pullim i kam pusim i go
oh...ohh...just another thought..Cessna named it the "Skymaster"so it naturally got "Mixmaster" among pilots not necessarily in PNG.

Just like all piston twins it's a single with dispersed power.

It's a while since I saw Mixmaster but your comment re the wing stirred the other brain cell.
It was a great STOL performer on both and overall a great and safe "twin" for its time.
Around the mid 70's Cessna changed all of the singles wings to a reflex leading edge, I think it was called camber lift although that might have been referring to the new wing tip.
With the exception of the , C207, C210 and i'm not sure about the C336/7, but I have a recollection it did not as it came too late in the production life cycle.
It made a significant difference to the lift and strip performance.
It's that concavity under and behind the leading edge. It's one way of quickly identifying the year model and whether to add a cuppla hundred metres to the TO/Landing dist.

Gaunty .......I may be mistaken, but I had believed the leading edge "concavity" to be part of the aftermarket STOL kit that some of them got!?
Wiz, Rosscoe .........agreed! Judicious use of the geardoors come airbrakes is good advice, unless you're in one of the fleet that have the electro-hydralic gear system without the airbrake gear doors! These have simple wells......ala C182/C210 This too I think, is a mod of sorts.
The other consideration of course is, if it is a buggy with the ole hydraulic gear system.............Does it have the standard single EDP or the optional second one fitted too?? Although if you're up for a challenge and memory serves me correct, you can pump the wheels up as well as down.
Then there's SE sevice ceilings.............How many other twins out there have such a marked difference in performance as Rosscoe mentioned???
While not an exhaustive or extensive list of the idosycracies of the type, it is most surely enough to raise an eyebrow of mine at the thought of guys & gals out there in them without any ME training or "official" endorsement training that may only incorporate a fraction of the current syllabus!
No matter what column your putting it in!!!!!

Yup, I seem to remember pumping the gear up. also pumping the doors open on the preflight.
There another little trick to remember.........on the older models, they only had one hydro pump........engine driven, on the front. dont try to land one on the rear engine and leave the gear till late final, it really scrapes up the paint on the pod. , as a certain instructor in a certain Goldfields town discovered.
I have flown two models, years apart from each other, and the wings and perfomance were markedly differant. the less older one had a laminar flow type wing and the older one had a huge chord and looked like it should have been on an ag plane. I prefered the older one ( 67' model) as we were lifting some veeeeery heavy loads with it.

PT6 it might have started that way but it was factory standard for all the high wings except the C210, C207 and the C337.
Young players found often to their surprise that a C207 wasn't just a stretched C206.
