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, ![]() ![]() |

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 |
