This thing looks great on paper. 155 mph cruise on 11 gph! The only thing not so great is the $515,000 price tag. Mike F |

Considering the Diamond does the same speed at roughly 3/4 the fuel burn, you might still come out ahead if you bought one and got your multi with the price of Jet A

Don't kid yourself. We spend over $15,000 every 300 hours having the gearboxes overhauled on our Twinstars. |
