I can't remember off the top of my head, but do the E55's have the IO-520's the same as the BE58??
I flew a D55 with the 285hp a side IO-520's in them, and geez it went! |

YYYYYYYEP IO 520C.
That one has one engine on condition (which sux) but with all the money spent on it it is not a bad thing to fly. 195kts at 24/24 at 5000 today the 2 blades are a tad loud though |

Yeah, be much nicer with a 3 bladed prop.
Be even better with 2 IO-550's in it! The 58's I used to fly normally TAS'd anywhere between 180-190kts at 8-10,000ft. I took off one day in an empty B58, reasonably cool day, held take off power (after all, it is max continuous, ), normal 500ft turn after take off and by the time I was abeam the aerodrome again intercepting my outbound track I was at about 4,000ft AGL, . |

That a 55 or a 58 Andrew?? I didn't remember the 58's having the flaps protruding out further than the ailerons?
2 nice machines anyway. Never got endorsed on the Cessna 300 series, however I did spend a fair amount of time in a C402A, which has a very similar fuselage and wing to the C340. Mick |

Yeah Mick, its a 58. No changing the fuel from mains to auxes etc after take off etc.
the 340 was a great thing to fly just mine had a few problems that were not really worth getting all of them fixed and it just started to cost too much Andrew |
