I'd have to get a multi-engine rating before I could fly it alone. Hmmmmmmmmm

I think I'll pass as well.

Only about 10 hours dual instruction and you'd have it!
There's another web site w/more pics.

Interesting interior. Front seat has a wheel, back seat a stick. The seller is asking $55k. Attention guaranteed at fly-ins.

They've been trying to sell this for a while. I can't imagine who'd pay $55K for it, it is an absolute oddity. But I'd love to fly it

It was desinged as an inexpensive twin trainer, so it actually has levers for "feathering" the props as well as a landing gear switch, even though it has neither. It won't even stay up at full gross and one engine.

It would be a good investment for someone wanting to log a lot of twin time, imagine flying around on 10 gph but in a twin!
