CRAZY IVAN5 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Well, I gotta say this different! I had the displeasure of working on one of these ONCE. What a pile! It had a"copy" of an 1820 Wright if I remember things right. That aside I'd most probably get one of these just to have something different.

To put things right,the engine is license built and the plane itself was built with the help of Rockwell on improving the Thrush Commander in the 70ties if it's a bad plane,that's a different story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The outfit I worked for had in the main R34 Turbo Thrushes and they tended to be a lot more reliable overall. engine wise there was no comparison, PT-6 -34AGs. iaf-man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the nicest engines I've ever worked on and I've worked on a lot of different engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
