They aren't huge but I've had other six place airplanes that were smaller. Mainly it's crawling between seats and figuring out where your legs go to crawl in. Awkward many times. You get used to it though. I fly 5 or 6 hours frequently and I'm never sore other than my butt from sitting.

My insurance company wasn't too strict other than initial training. I took my ifr in a warrior and think they fly about the same. Just slicker. However I had a Columbia before Malibu so wasn't anything unexpected. The ground steering was the hardest for me and I still don't like it much. Think...

I'm going to sun n fun so if they don't have one there you can come over to plant city and see mine and maybe go for little ride. Only 15 minutes from Lakeland Linder field.

Don't know if your asking me, but I actually don't set anything aside for that. Not sure if you would believe cost of my last 3 annuals if I told you. But less than one annual on the Columbia I used to have. However if you add in the recurrent training that does add little more. Wish I could say...

The engine is always making boost. Hp is set at 310 mainly by pulling back max rpm limit. On takeoff I run about 2500 or slightly more and try to keep it at 38 inches it will climb to over 40 if not watching. During climb I pull back to 2400 and 31 inches and try to keep at least 120 indicated...

I almost always fly above 12500. 16 to 23 are sweet spots. And I did mean gs not true. The matrix doesn't interest me. Any time I ask people to put on oxygen you'd think I was trying to kill them. I very seldom can't get out of a trubulence level, but have been in some in past years. Nothing to...

He's little optimistic on speed. I get about 200 on 13 to 14 gals. I plan for 17 gal and come out close with my climb. Takes me about 40 min depending on temps to climb to 25000 burning about 23 gal. That is with a 550. I am 5-11 and 235 and I fit just fine. I think it handles like a warrior at...

Technically a ball on steering wheel is illegal, but only know couple guys busted for it.

I'm not near it but guessing close to 30 ft. I've had about ten t600s and that's about what I always figured. Front axle is set back 16 inches though. I can probably get in where you can as from memory think the t600 turns shorter. Kenworth or peterbilt often run specials on shocks. Inland...

It should have a hand throttle on floor by seat to do same thing denverpilot. They do make a aftermarket cruise system for it though that senses driveshaft rpm and maintains speed.

My t600 is a 2008. Has all the nicetys. Air ride seats,cab and suspension. My 3rd autoshift truck. Really like that. 70 inch sleeper. All one unit so when I'm waiting in line I can recline my seat all the way back and nap. Have had half dozen cabovers over the years but not since the 80s probably.

I will say they have made them much more plush in the 20 years between your build and mine.

Hey ted. My kenworth has a 475 Cummings isx with a ten speed autoshift. Decided if I have to haul several hundred loads of corn and beans I'm going to do in comfort. I've had bunch of cabovers in past, but not terrible much you can do about ride as you are above front axle. There are several...

Okay Ted. Now I had to go out and buy a kenworth so I could have one also. o_O

I'm over in plant city if you get this way.

Just like a gun. You don't point at anything you don't want to kill. You treat it like it's going to start every pull.

Just did one yesterday from 7500. Engine out to ground. Took 20 minutes almost. Descent at best glide was 380 fpm.

I am principal in plane rental company. I can tell you that after 3 years about, we are not making anything at 120$ per hour.

I should be around. Have to get recurrent training next week and fly tomeone to Miami to pick up a plane. Other than that pretty open end of week.

My experience operating 3 Cessna 172s for last several years in a flight school, rental operation, shows that $120.00 per hour barely pays the bills. Nothing left for engine reserve or a payment if there was one. Unless you just want to help people fly it's not worth it. Nice big gross amounts...
