Suggested new project(s)

[jetdodger]

I have really been enjoying the MU-2 that you have developed in XP12.  Based on the outstanding job you have done there, I am suggesting a new project that I would like to see done by your team.  That project is the Cessna 441 Conquest II.  I believe that you could lever your experience with the MU-2 in the 441 (e.g. both have variants of the TPE331).  After overcoming some initial issues in the real world, the 441 showed outstanding performance and value using the combination of its speed and range to rival even some jets because it could travel at high speed with needing a fuel stop for up to 2200 nm.  From what I can see, it appears that the Conquest II has had similar cockpit evolutions from the original gauges and avionics through modern glass cockpits. 

Obviously, I don't know what you have already been considering for development projects, but this would seem to be one for which you may already have a significant headstart should you decide to take it on.

As another TPE331 powered possibility, I would also be interested in the PA-42-1000 Cheyenne, a real hot rod although with less range than the Cessna 441.

I would certainly be looking forward to either of those suggested products and will be keeping my eyes open for whatever you do have in the pipe.
