C421 Endorsement - guru sought

Comrades

Looking for a guru on all things C421 to give a GOOD endorsement to an experienced ME IFR driver.

Any recommendations? East Coast preferred!

Cheers

Never let the props drive the engines and keep the idle high enough that the gearboxes don't rattle on the ground.

Oh, and have a great time flying it.

Is that a quote from the C421 POH ?

Half a chance someone who could give you a good endorsement wouldn't because no one with an interest in the engines would pull one at max power for a couple hours of duel hire. Maybe get you to goaround on one only from short final. They are a lovely engine, don't get me wrong, just a bit twichy. Was lucky enough to fly them on the 404 for 500 hrs or so.

No.

My message is too short, so No again.
