I all ready know the response I am going to get

They do not burn anymore than any other twin that does 210 KTs

As an A&P, the Duke was my favorite, but like you, your going to need to find a Doctor or Lawyer or such. The days of airline pilots actually owning fancy plane stopped about twenty years ago.

Bingo we have a winner. Beech Dukes look fast and go fast but burn a ********************load of fuel. They get like 400HP out of those 541's but they are hangar queens unless you do you own wrenching mx costs will kill you. As I recall the tail structure has a lot of magnesium parts corrosion is a real problem with these planes. If it had the Pratt turbines on it it'd be a steal. The Lycomings? not so much

541's?. Are we talking about a Duke here? I could have sworn they were Lycoming 720's. The 8 cylinder odd ball inverted engine. For the price you are asking, just scrap it and part it out. Those are high dollar engines by themselves. Your dad was better off keeping the 421...well maybe not. Those GSTO's can eat your wallet. I have seen nice Dukes recently being offered for less then 80K and not coming out of FL. I have wrenched on lots of planes 421's and Dukes were my money makers. Good luck trying to sell that one in this day and age of $6+ per gallon for avgas.

A Duke looks cool but the Baron 58P is more practical.

 

[N813CA]

It is now any reasonable offer. The Duke destroys the baron. I have flown both . It has only been in FL for 3 years and before that Montana for the entire time so no corrosion.

 

[N813CA]

The engines are LycomingTIO-541-E1C4

 

[N813CA]

That is what makes this one different these are the good engines

 

[N813CA]

What's the cruise fuel flow if you don't mind me asking. Nice bird.

43 GPS at 210 kts

My father flies it almost every Month to keep it lubricated and takes it back to MT every summer. Better then AZ. No dust storms

 

[StopNTSing]

That there's a real-man pilot's airplane: has no magenta line to follow. Unfortunately, these days that is probably working against a sale, too.

 

[N813CA]

For the price of a 172? Any reasonable offer. HELLO

 

[N813CA]

Sorry real pilots are not u. Trust me. We keep our feet on the floor. That's not a real pilot. I hope you send this. Kiss my butt

 

[Capn Butthead]

Beautiful airplane! Wish I could! I wish you luck in finding a great buyer and I know that your dad is sad to give it up. I'll keep an ear out in the pilot lounge.

Forget to log out? If you really roll this way, I wouldn't buy cat litter from you. Kiss your own butt.
