Wellllll, it’s kinda a Cessna 310. I’m restoring the airplane completely and didn’t want to have any antennas if possible.

I’ve seen plenty of planes with the antennas hidden, I don’t know how it’s done, which antennas need to be used, does the reception decrease somehow?? TIA

I’m not sure if someone mentioned it but there are several air parks in SW Florida and RSW-Ft Myers has direct flights to Germany.

Do you still have the rest of the aspen?

Yes, the engine on the duke is suppose to be practically the same with the extra 75 ponies. I assumed it would be pretty dumb to buy one, just seems so cool.

I love odd airplanes and have no problem with taking the time to care for an odd ball. I know there is a small cult following that has some parts for them, i also heard there is a precedent of a duke motor being installed on an airframe. My question, how much should I pay for one?

Turbonormalized and turbocharged are practically the same thing in the sense both should be able to produce 100% horsepower to at least 18,000.’ TN at 30,” TC at whatever boost value the engine manufacturer decided.

Is it just me or is that slow? I thought NA models where about 150-155 KTAS at 6000-7000’

What sort of TAS do you get from the plane? I haven’t seen many TN F models.

That seems a little low. I would think you should recoup 50% of the installiation cost at least.

I tried to search TKS but it doesn't let me... I don't like making a new post when it was already discussed.

I guess that covers it then. I just wanted to make an informed decision. I was hoping one of these low cost.. 60AMU 231's would be a good deal if I could add the TKS for 25AMU. I guess the minimum buy it price for a tks 231 is about 125AMU

Does anyone know what the cost is? Assuming you have a 14V plane and only want ice protection, not know ice. Edit: On a M20K.
