I have flown many 421C's in my career and finding clean, low time, no damage 421C's is becoming more difficult. This video features what I consider the right 421C to invest in avionics, paint, interior and other upgrades.

Hey Rich- Not judging here, but on a piston twin…isn’t it prudent to keep your hand on the levers while on your t/o roll through rotation just in case one motor $#!+s the bed? Again, not judging…but curious! Thx

@FlyingwithRich Месяц назад

Sure - that’s a good technique.

I flew two C-421's and found they are my favorite plane to operate. All the bad things that others claim are not true. It is a very great airplane to fly that does everything right. One of my corporate owners upgraded from a C-414 and found the cost to operate the C-421 was equal or less than the C-414. It's an airplane that deliver more long term value over most twins. It must be flown by a professional with the Geared Engine that does not like throttle jockey abuse. You must plan all your climb and descents well in advance with power on to just before landing touch down. No other piston twin is more satisfying with large props and the sound of geared engines than the C-421. The owner sold the plane years later, and soon after it was totaled while landing on a closed runway

Climbing up the Aviation Ladder I flew the 21C a good bit. Very stable and comfortable aircraft. Had to stay aware of engine shock but that is just good required management. Very quiet and smooth. Maint Schedule was a bit ruff. But all in all the apex of the Cessna Cabin Class Recip. Right behind it was the 14A.

@brandonnazer6672 Месяц назад

So I know your sites are mostly what you’re selling. However would be interesting to get your take on 421 c compared to conquest. Conquest compared to king air 90. Like for the size and usability for smaller turboprop to piston. Would be nice to see.

It's been a while sine last checking in with Rich here - probably one of the top couple percent of aviators for sure, and a pleasure to watch. I was just thinking that he wears the aircraft like a custom-tailored suit. There are pilots, drivers and horsemen like that who make it all look so easy.

@Renato.Stiefenhofer.747driver Месяц назад

Thank's for the video. Great airplane. I did my first 500 twin engine hours on the 421C back in 1988. To this day I remember how safe it felt. I would recommend this particular 421C. It's a piece of art in excellent condition. Regards from Switzrland. R

@gtr1952 Месяц назад

There is a startup company in Australia that was developing 300hp - 500hp turbine engines that were at a ~$70k target price. The object was to replace piston engines on older light aircraft. I haven't checked on them in a long time, but they used to show up at Osh. A nice 421 GE like this one might be a perfect candidate for one (actually 2 LOL)! I can't remember the name, but I'll look. Thanks Rich! --gary

@mouser485 Месяц назад

That’s interesting. I wonder how many 421 owners would convert to turbine power?? Seems like if a 421 owner wanted turbines they’d just trade up to a Cessna 441. However, there’s a lot of other piston singles that would be perfect for a turbine conversion. There were a couple of companies that would do that here in the states but not sure if they’re still around.

@gtr1952 Месяц назад

@@mouser485 The big thing about that new turbine was the price, $70- maybe $90k for 300-500hp new! The last I knew, a rebuild kit from P&W for a PT6 was about $400k !! That new turbine is in the piston price range. If they got it certified, that would be a game changer! It's small size/HP and cost is perfect for piston replacement. Run Jet_A and not av-gas, that's a big deal also. JMHO 8) Peace --gary

@gtr1952 thanks for the message - would be great to see engine like that become reality!

@osuav8r Месяц назад

@@mouser485 You're probably thinking of Innodyne. I saw their engines at oshkosh many years ago and it seemed like a great concept, but they couldn't overcome the financial and engineering hurdles and the company went bankrupt. Turbines are wonderful ( I own an Mu2 with Garretts) but the acquisition and repair costs can be high. On average, I think they pencil out pretty well compared to something like the GTSIO's on a 421, but when the bills do come, they can be eye watering.

@cargopilot747 Месяц назад

The Cessna 425s are great, too, but I really love the aesthetics of the engine cowls on the 421C. The geared piston engines have lower TBOs than direct-drive engines, but the props are quieter, and it gives the nacelle a unique appearance. The airplane looks great on the ramp and in the air.

@FlyingwithRich Месяц назад

Beautiful airplanes for sure and the cowlings really add to it. Thanks for watching!

@mouser485 Месяц назад

Are those geared motors noticeably quieter than the non geared motors?? I believe that’s the point of the gearing which is to slow the tips of the props in order to reduce noise ? If that’s the reason, I just wonder how big of a difference it is between geared and non geared.

@FlyingwithRich Месяц назад

Noticeably quieter on the geared engines.

@GWNHomestead Месяц назад

Rich already answered, but I'll add this comment. The 421C has a quieter cabin than pretty much any Turboprop in production at its time. The 421 was built to be an executive hauler, without the Turbo Prop price!

@@GWNHomestead - 😂. Made more small airplane mechanics careers a living than any other airplane. Their kids colleges thank you…. Expense due to inexperience operator error. From sheared starter shafts ($5,500) to reduction gear cases and internals. The saying here is, a 421 engine is like a hand grenade, and every time you start one, you pull the pin….. good luck….

@GWNHomestead Месяц назад

@@tobberfutooagain2628 "expenses due to inexperienced operator error".... Exactly, that's not the GTSIOs fault. The aircraft are far from "junk". Much less cylinder head issues on them compared to the TSIO non geared at the same time. I've seen so many GTSIOs get to TBO without failures. It's an aircraft for a well trained, disciplined pilot, not a hot shot Egomaniac.

@tobberfutooagain2628 Месяц назад

@@GWNHomestead - well, the only way you quantify that is by maintenance records and downtime. Blow $90k on a motor and 3 months, not counting annual inspections. Compare it to an E90. Especially with todays prices… you will be surprised how close they are with similar annual usage. Then compare reliability with a 414a. It is sub par… And, hard to find experienced operators for a stepping stone airplane…. Be prepared to open the checkbook… just the way it is…

@tobberfutooagain2628 Месяц назад

@@GWNHomestead - which brings us to the kiss of death…… not having one or two pilots, rather having a pool of day rate guys and girls that occasionally do trips for you. They are there for the money, and all have non standardized procedures. Its a “get the job done” mentality. There is a one to one correlation between multi-pilot flown twin Cessna’s, and maintenance time/expense. That plane needs one pilot with TLC, like a horse… which just doesn’t fit with todays flying reality… would you buy a Ferrari, then let all your friends drive it and grind thru the gears? It is not one of Cessnas better offerings…..

@GWNHomestead Месяц назад

I don't like seeing these comments.....most complaints come from non-pilots or non 421 owners. Being in a hangar next to a small Air Taxi business, they own three 404 Titans. Same GTSIO engines. The owner has nothing bad to say about the aircraft or engines, the only complaint he has is under-trained or incompetent pilots that destroy the engines. If you never learned how to drive a manual transmission, you'll burn out the clutch, bunny hop and stall.... If you have never ridden a bike before, you'll probably fall.... If you fly a GTSIO without training, you'll destroy them.... Learning is everything 😊
