I used to do that in the Central African Republic and on takeoff I prayed my engine did not even skip a beat...!!! I did 50 hr inspections every 25 hrs and 100 hr inspections every 50 hrs... on the engine,not airframe... it got its usual...!!!
That is so neat , i learnt in an 1954 c.170. When i first flew an 185 , absolutely loved the grunt. I would love to spend time sitting in the right hand seat while you flew into these places.
Yea the big contis are cool , not so keen on the small ones like 0200 , 0300. In fact the lyc 0235 really makes the 0200 look so old. Also like lyc io540
