I talked to one of the demo guys at OSH last year. He was saying that thing will do 1000 fpm on a single engine go-around with gear & flaps hanging out. 300 kts true & 4-5000 feet per minute when light.

Round engines rule, I'd hardly call the DC-3, Twin Beech, or the B-25, garbage...just to name a few.

Hmm.......I don't think the conversion comes with a new rudder, but I don't work there.
