When they’re trying to find an honestly used plane to shop for or Cheap Airplanes many would-be owners gravitate to the best-known models. That makes sense in a way to have Cheap Airplanes. The chances are good that a well-loved model will live up to its billing and deliver an incredible flying experience.

But the problem is that the crowd favorites wind up selling for more. It’s about as simple a case of supply and demand as you can get. The Cessna 182 Sky lane and the Beechcraft Bonanza are two cases in point. The 1964 sky lane I bought earlier this year cost about $20,000 more than it would have just a decade earlier. And when an honest used sky lane shows abreast of the market, it doesn’t last for long, and buyers typically get their selling price or more.

There are some combined experiences and very innovative solutions for those who are sharing connections ideas and opportunities that may be a great solution for those who produce alternatives that aren’t as popular or as pricey. Sometimes this has got to do with speed or utility. Mid-’60s Bonanzas cost tons quite late-’50s models do, and not simply because they’re new but also because they’re faster.

There are a couple of other factors to weigh when you’re narrowing your search terms. First, remember that purchasing the airplane is merely a part of the value of owning a plane. How much fuel it burns and the way expensive it'll be to take care of are equally important factors to think about.

LIMITED LIFE COMPONENTS OR LLC’S

Limited life components or LLC’s, a formal way of describing anything that has a finite life span or a mechanical limit. Open the cowl on any aircraft, close your eyes and point and you’ll find one. What are they exactly? Alternators, belts, hoses, tires, light bulbs, spark plugs to name a few.

Having to adhere to that life span can mean taking something off your aircraft that literally looks like it’s brand new and replacing it. For example, engine hoses. They might look ok, but they are usually recommended to be replaced every five years or as needed. You get something in return for it, the predictability of your aircraft operating without failure, at least for that part anyway.

Not everyone follows the time and cycle schedule though. Some replace parts on what is known as “On Condition”. The folks that use this method swear by it. What is it exactly? On condition is simply a way of inspecting and checking that a component functions properly or within OEM specs. It is with the inspecting and a functional check that one can determine if the item needs to be replaced before it fails. On Condition is not to be confused with replacing when the part fails or as it is also known; fit until failure.

Yes, you can fly until your alternator goes out and as long as you are not flying your aircraft for hire, you don’t have to replace the hoses unless they look like they need to be replaced. Many LLC components can and will just fail, while others give ample warning signs, for example, a fluctuating amp meter, frayed hoses or dry rotted belts.

So, what can you do to head off any LLC issues that could leave you stranded? If you are renting, then you shouldn’t have too many worries since the aircraft has to go in for a 100hr inspection, however what if you are renting and it’s eight more hours until the 100hr inspection? It’s always a good idea if you are a renter and leaving for a trip to go out the day before and give the aircraft a good once over so that if there is anything wrong you can get it corrected or schedule another aircraft.

All in all, the best thing to do is keep a close eye on the items that wear and tear the fastest. That way you can have some expectation of when you’ll need to schedule maintenance. How does that old saying go? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

 KEEPS EM FLYING!

You’ve heard it when you’ve been outside doing yard work or standing at the mailbox. The sound of an airplane in the distance, but it’s not the normal sound you are used to hearing from an aircraft aloft and it takes a second for you to hone in on it. What is it? The sound of a radial engine or the crackle of a Merlin in the distance? Your next thought is some lucky person is having a good day behind the controls of that machine and you wish it was you!

There are many warbirds and other vintage aircraft still flying today. 

Some are affordable and others... not so much. It takes a lot to keep an older aircraft flying and much more so for a warbird. They were built tough; however, they still need a lot of maintenance. Thankfully, there are many dedicated nonprofit organizations and private owners with deep enough pockets to keep the more exotic warbirds flying.

Hearing and seeing these old aircraft are some of the reasons aviation is so exciting. It adds something unique and special to a world where the commercial flight is growing rapidly, but let’s faces it, commercial aircraft are functional, useful tools for getting from point A to point B and they have their own appeal, but not like old iron! That’s why it’s so important to keep the warbird and vintage aircraft population alive.

Can you get into the game? There are affordable warbirds, the North American SNJ, T-28 Trojan, T-34 just to name a few. While 150k-250 might not seem affordable, you can think of it this way, could you afford a second home? A vacation home, condo on the beach or close to it? That is essentially comparable to the initial purchase price. 

The same thing about general aviation aircraft, if you can afford a brand-new truck or SUV, you can buy a good used four-place GA aircraft. If we all get in the game and stay in the game, we can keep these warbirds alive and well for the next generation to take over and all the while being a positive force in General Aviation!

FIRST IN A SERIES: AIRCRAFT WAY AHEAD OF THEIR TIME

The Mitsubishi MU-2

Prestart checklist complete, BATTERY SELECT SWITCH- as required, SRL switches-on, both run/crank switches-RUN, EGT-check, FEATHER VALVE CHECK - accomplish, Power levers-half inch forward of flight idle, Condition levers-taxi, START SELECTOR SWITCH-as required, PROPS- clear and on locks, ENGINE START-ACCOMPLISH.  With that, the 776HP Garrett’s come to life on one of the most interesting turboprops to ever come to market. 

How it got started

This amazing underrated Japanese twin-engine turbo-prop took its first flight in the early fall of 1963. Produced by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in partnership with Mooney Aircraft of Texas until 1986 with just a little over 700 aircraft completed. 

The main idea for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was to take the twin-engine turbo-prop to the next level, as in making Jet-like type of performance for turbo-prop prices. Retaining good low-speed handling and approach speeds was crucial.  Mitsubishi Heavy Industries did this by utilizing full-span, double-slotted flaps. Knowing this set up would take up space on the trailing edge of the wing, Mitsubishi designed spoilers into the wing, giving the MU-2 no real adverse yaw since there are no ailerons to create it.

The flaps are so effective it went against typical engine out procedures in that flaps are not to be reduced during an engine out which flew in the face of the piston-powered engine out procedures. This may have contributed to the bad reputation the MU-2 spent the rest of its life trying to prove was wrong.

Essentially the MU-2 is very much like a Jet aircraft and most pilots who were coming from piston-powered aircraft were just not ready to fly the MU-2 which as a high-performance aircraft was literally above other turbo-prop aircraft.  With the accident rate on MU-2’s creeping up the FAA took a hard look at the aircraft's certificate. They found nothing wrong with the design, but that pilots needed better training and that it would be in the best interest of safety to have all MU-2 pilots complete type-rated like training in the aircraft.

Flying the MU-2

The MU-2 flies like a Jet and needs to be treated and handled like one.  What does that mean? It means numbers, numbers, and numbers. It must be flown by the numbers to get predictable results. In doing so a pilot will be rewarded with an amazing turbo-prop aircraft with Jet-like performance. Typical cruise speeds are 280KTAS to 310KTAS on approximately 68-78GPH. The MU-2 shines on trips up to 500NM where it competes for the neck to neck with Jets.

Engine out procedures as we mentioned earlier go against piston-powered training. On the MU-2 they are a non-event if procedures are followed, leaving flaps out and accelerating to VYSE before any flap retraction and correct rudder input is essential before even retracting the gear. After completing clean-up, the MU-2 will climb on one engine at 500 fpm.

Legacy and Opinion

For the money, dollar for dollar you almost can’t match the economic benefits of the MU-2. The size of its cabin class interior with seating up to almost a dozen passengers, its speed and the twin Honeywell engines with a TBO of 5,400 hours. After all these years Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is still in it to win it with its continuing support of the airframes and training provided with SimCom at their Orlando FL, Lee Vista Training Center.  It is a shame that the economics of aircraft production don’t support the restarting of the production line. This aircraft was way ahead of its time and truly took turbo props to the next level of performance. The MU-2 is the closest thing to flying a Jet without Jet expenses.
