    Description
    Possibly the fastest RR250-B17D turboprop-powered, all-metal aircraft in the world at 280 KTAS w/the TOT at the top of the green. Large flight envelope, stalls at 68 kts w/full fuel. It flew to Europe twice. 1989 (demoed at the Paris Air Show) & 1991 (Europe, S. Africa, Japan, etc.) I have owned 6Y for 18 years and perfected its flying characteristics. New style wingtips improve the slow flight characteristic- the stall is 5 kts lower at 68 kts with full fuel. Slow flight is stable and the landing touch-downs are softer. With 0 fuel in the wings and 20 gals in the header tank, It stalled at 61-62 kts in the landing configuration. It lands easier than my Mooney Rocket. Just 10 kts faster on approach. It doesn't seem to want to stall w/ gear up and full flaps. I tried several times. 89 gals total. 34 ea. wing, 21 gals in the header tank. Fuel burn: 24.4 GPH @ 10.500' 23.4 GPH @ 12,500' 22.3 GPH @ 14,500' 22.9 GPH @ 15,500' 21.4 GPH @ 16,500' 20.6 GPH @ 17,500' Trades considered for something with a large cargo door.
