It is not geared so you can forget that issue and it is liquid cooled.

Not to mention with all of the mods and winglets it has a VMC that is lower than stall.

The best part...we are practically giving it away!
There is a reason that you are practically giving it away. Call RAM they may be interested in converting it back to air cooled engines and **** canning those voyager engines. I flew Swayze's airplane back into service after he had his landing accident several years ago. The did a full de-mate on it. What a pile of crap. They should have totaled the airplane instead of fixing it. We couldn't go for more than two hours in it without needing maintenance. At the time I was managing and flying a 1980 421C model. It made me appreciate just how much better a well taken care of 421 was.
