Thanks.
yes, yes, yes. you r welcome.
Okay, yes they are better because they have no VMC,with one engine dead, the speed at which on a SBS twin you flop over on your back and die. real bonus.
the props are c/r, so no P factor on take off.
the only real peculiarity is that you can lose an engine, and then they fly like a heavy 182.
oh, did i mention, inherently safe?
did i mention fly over lake michigan, at night, and not worry abt engine failure (big thing to worry abt with only 1)
i guess you could say i am partial to them.
