Description
This aircraft started it's life as a 1980 Beechcraft 58P Baron. In 2006 the six year process was started to take off the two piston engines, and install one 750 hp Walters turbine engine with five blade prop. In 2012, it was deregistered as a Beechcraft, and named a Baylescraft after the mechanic who built it. This conversion required the plane to be put in the Experimental Category which carries with it some benefits, as well as some compromises.

Useful Load: 2500 lbs
This Lightning was manufactured in 2006. It is currently flying and at last count, had a little over 150 hrs total time. Climb rates are impressive at 2,000 fpm which it can maintain into the flight levels. High speed cruise is 241 kts, thus the N number of N241FS (for "fast ship"). Normal cruise is 220-230 kts TAS depending on density altitude. Cruise fuel flows are 40-45 gph depending on altitude. A cruise prop setting of 1850 makes for a very quiet cabin. Useful load is 2500 lbs. With full fuel, you can put over 1300 lbs in the cabin.
Takeoff and landing ground roll is typically 1000-1500' depending on weight and density altitudes. This is a full feathering and reverse prop which saves on the brakes on short runways.
This Lightning is very comfortable and a joy to fly. With the electric A/C, it can be precooled on the ground with a ground power unit.
