Your (soon to be yours) plane looks great!! How long until you turbine convert?  |
Doctors had a habit of buying the V-tails, not paying attention to the limitations in the POH and made the tail fall off. There were not that many fatal accidents, but just enough for the name "Dr. killer" to stick.
The conversion to turbine will cost about $400,000. Not cheap.
D, make sure to check the rudder pedals after any inspections. They can fold back to get them out of the way and sometimes can be let that way on accident. Not fun when landing.
