FN FAL said:Hahaha...the corporate outfit that had a DUKE based at the Shawano airport is bankrupt because of that airplane. I'd say that if you only had 80K to spend on a piston twin and you bought a DUKE with that money, you or your family will be filing bankruptcy within 1.5 years, if you still own that plane.
Everybody complains about a Duke. I drove one for almost a thousand hours, and quite frankly had no problems, out of the ordinary, with it. As with most of the Beechcraft products, it was a very nice instrument platform.
