Technam twins
Saw one at BAe in Tamworth last week - painted all grey - very menacing

It might literally "stack up" with 4 POB when it loses a donk! Don't know many 4 seaters that run on 100 HP but they reckon it does it ok. Talked at length to the guy at Oshkosh about it and he had me believing it was a great aircraft. There are some good YouTube videos of it being out through its paces.

Hi,
I flew it some time ago as an 'air test' review for a magazine and was suitably impressed.
It was very straightforward to fly with an engine out and two on board; comparable with the other light twins 'doing the rounds'.
Cheers.

You might ant to check out their 'G' envelope before you go operating them inside any cumulus cloud. I heard a rumour of one needing two engine mount repairs before it was very old.
They well be more robust than they look, but I wouldn't want to be bumping around in some of the stuff that we do in other twins etc.

I've flown one for around 50hrs in NZ. It's a rather nice handling a/c does have a few issues, but if you treat it like a 172/182 then you get similar performance numbers (except cruise which is quicker).
PM me for more info.
