New to 337's seeking advice

[cessnadriver]

Hello Tripp, welcome.
I to am a SHORT pilot-5'2". I have a 1965 C337 and I have no problem with seeing over the cowling (Nose). I'm just starting my Center Line Thurst (CLT) restricted multi-engine training. My C337 is a basic bird No Auto-pilot, AC, etc. As an A&P I do all my own maintenance which saves me a lot! Ive flown C337 only twice, once mine, once a friends'. Since you said you don't have much GA time, you may find that the C337 has a heavy yoke on T/O and landing. USING A LOT OF ELEVATOR TRIM helps. It maybe better to find a Skymaster experienced mechanic for the PRE-BUY, there are several things that need checked that a good C337 mechanic can find. Good luck in your hunt.
