  1. No expert, by any means, but have seen a few. They are six passenger, 2 seats, 3 abreast. A passenger can sit between the pilot and co-pilot. The originals had GSO-480 (Geared, Supercharged, Opposed) Lycoming engines. The tachometer reads engine speed, not prop speed, and a lot of pilots were freaked out seeing 3400 RPM and 49" manifold pressure for takeoff.


  2. Not sure what would constitute an "expert."  If we knew exactly what you want to know about the T-bone, we could tell you what we know.

    I have a few hours in Twin Bonanzas, and they are lovely airplanes within a certain mission profile and performance envelope.  They are very solid, stable, and easy to handle; an excellent instrument platform.

    The T-bone is a disappearing breed, because they are large, heavy, and costly to operate.  They have a rare 8-cylinder geared engine that is very costly to maintain and major.

    It's an all-electric airplane like the Bonanza, Travel Air, and Baron, and they have many parts in common with those.  What else do you need to know?
