Anyone have the numbers? Incidentally, the Skymaster has the obvious advantages of a twin, without the usual disadvantages (particularly for a SEL licencee like me) of worrying about asymmetric thrust if you lose an engine on takeoff. Unfortunately it is also very noisy. Bob Langridge, Computer Graphics Laboratory, University of California, San Francisco, CA 94143.
