I'm not a fan of glass panels either. So the suggestion of a Baron 56TC sounds great to me, especially given it's performance. It would also be nice to have something a little different to the present Piper/Cessna offerings and we haven't yet had a turbocharged engine.
But I'd be happy with a Duchess/Seminole as a starter to twin engine flying too. Hope it happens this year.
Cheers,
Mike

Re: A2A Twin Engine Trainer
The Duchess always felt like it should be aerobatic to me. Great under the hand, plenty of power. Solid single engine performance and no "critical engine", unlike the Baron.

I know it's been just over a year.. but I thought I would have a look and see if there was any news?

Re: A2A Twin Engine Trainer
Many years ago, the C310 was a very popular aircraft to get a twin engine rating in. Now days I really like the Piper Seminole.

Re: A2A Twin Engine Trainer
Piper Seminole, Beechcraft Duchess or Cessna 310 would all be good choices. Going back a little farther in time the Beech 18 or Avro Anson could be good choices.

Re: A2A Twin Engine Trainer
Personally, Id rather see a low wing, conventional tail, tricycle gear airplane, like a Cessna 310 or Beech Baron B55. A Seneca or dare I say (Twin Comanche) would also be pretty cool. I know Seminoles are trainers and that's what everyone is in the mood for, but along with Tomahawks and King Airs, the T-tail is not the prettiest sight, nor does it fly as well as a conventional or V-tail. I personally (Out of pure opinion) say nuts to a Seminole. I'd rather see something better. #SayNoToTtails
Comanche, 172, 182, PA-28, Civ/Mil Mustang, T-6, COTS L049, P-40, Spitfire, V35, and Mighty B-17.

Re: A2A Twin Engine Trainer
Look like a jet twin and a prop twin rolled into one!!
How about a Twin Comanche instead?? I love the A2A Comanche and have read good things about the Twin Comanche, so that's a suggestion from me.
Cheers,
Mike

Re: A2A Twin Engine Trainer
I also love the Comanche and would be ALL FOR THAT!!!!!!! A C337 Skymaster would be cool too. Not as pretty as the aircraft in the previous opinions though.Dogsbody55 wrote:Look like a jet twin and a prop twin rolled into one!!
