beautiful day with a partenavia and siemi

[hnizard]

For those considering these aircrafts are underpowered, consider the Viator...

what's this plane year? looks like an mid 80's to me..

Flitze! Du bist ein Sun! Super Vid.

[marick626]

partenavias are good airlanes. The only problem is their powerplats... underpowred. All you need to do is install a couple of IO-550s (600hp total) and you are set :).

[dbowie2007]

yeah.. of course, and then get a 70gph take off drill and 30gph cruising.. with todays fuel prices, no many can afford a plane with IO-550's :(

@marick626 nothing wrong with their power plants. the 200 hp lycoming engines from the piper arrow make excellent engines.

Actually it is a P68C. I only flew the P68C-TC (Turbocharged). And even this one is hard to fly single engine with 3 people at 5000 feet. Not really a good twin. I prefer a Piper cheyeneIII

[dbowie2007]

if you have an engine failure the vulcanair will take you to an airport. Not to climb but to get safe to a place for landing.

Duchess are the ones that are underpower

@Lettenbichler This wont fly with 3 people at 5000 feet lol. itl be less than that

IT is a REAL twin. Thats the reason why it is a real twin, well a piston one at least!

[55kompressor]

Nice twin when you are only 2 on board just above sea level. Try that single engine stuff with 6 on board and ISA + 20°C and see why its not a REAL twin..
