This is the MilViz C310 - a very handy light twin.

Nice....love that paint.

It's a nice model alright

It would appear that 2010-11 is the year of the light twin... This C310, Carenado's Seneca, Islander and now the C340

I'm not a great fan of these biz-type things, but this one looks pretty good! I don't think I'd feel like a total kn*b flying that one

. If I had the money (but not enough for a Spit) I'd buy a Cub, Cresco or Islander ... or maybe a Tiger Moth or D.H. Chipmunk.

Agreed - nice repaint too.

Very nice paint and shots..love the lines of the 310R where did you get the repaint from?

Hope you got the money for a Tiger Moth

LOL - I think you will find a Cresco is upwards of 10 times the price of the others on your list. $1.1m - 1.3m second hand !!

R's were the best of the bunch, sadly the last too... 4.5hrs on an R in the UK and just under 3hrs in a Q model in the states thanks to the Old Man.

Adam, the Cresco is worth a lot more as A) it's much earlier in it's usable life, and B) and a consequence of A, it's still a valuable asset - by having one, you have the opportunity to make money via it's intended role... As opposed to flying what is effectively a massive liability on the museum circuit (not intended to offend anyone or denigrate the spectacle of these warbirds and the pleasure they give to us by seeing them flying today)

Thanks, Alfa ... that makes sense. I suppose *durability* could also be a factor - as the Crescos would be working *hard* to earn their keep.

What is it with these GA twins , i,ve tried to get interested , or least feel part off the community , give me a Vulcan or even a B52 any day .

Turbine engine alone is worth a fair bit of the cost. Plus the Crescos are pretty rare. Only 39 were built, 4 of which have been writen off.

by **Ian Warren** » Sun Jan 23, 2011 12:15 pm

Hells , only 39 , Deane i did not no that , only 35 around so that restricts us to that number in a multi-play
