Best twin for Multi and IR

[duir]

Not much comment on the Grumman Cougar.
Is this a good aircraft for IR training?
Is it a good idea to do the twin rating as part of the CPL then CPL test on twin? This leaves you with more hours on twin in prep for IR???

I did my IR and CPL on the Grumman Cougar. Nothing horrible to note. Everything does what its meant to. Not to fast or slow very stable. And more importantly reasonably priced.

Engine failure is pretty tame, it did climb on single engine (that was in winter)

I have flown the seminol and did find it under powered on a single engine. But that was in 90% humidity 30deg C in Florida so anything more than 10mins on simulated single engine the working engine started overheating.

Remember these are all FAR23 aircraft. That means that there was no requirement for them to have a climb ability on one engine, only that the climb performance be determined during certification under very limited conditions. It could be determined to be downwards at x feet/min.
