The All New Duchess IPH is online at Schofields it's VDO at the moment the plan is to change over to A/S soon as VDO is not fair. It will be a bit more then IFF however, but then it is a very diferent looking beast.

Can highly recommend VH-IIF
Phil has recently had some major work done on his B76 engine-wise and I can highly recommend it (if you can get it now cause it's so good value).
Have used it for several years and never had a problem.
Just call Sydney Skydive Centre or visit just north west of the Tower at Bankstown.

Mighty Duchess (not)
How do you blokes get worked up over a machine that does only 150 knots at 80 litres an hour only holding 4 and wobbling all over the sky worse than a V-tail?
It is actually quite easy!

Super Cecil,
I enjoy my ducky. It's Not the fastest true it does wobble a bit but that is what the things under your feet are for.
Oh and that other thing with the red knobs that's the mixture and if you lean it back U can get at least 60 Pr/Hr.
One day i will be able to afford a Baron but where i am in my flying i find the BE76 easer to fly then the lance i was flying and a good platform to gain my CIR.

Those things on the floor do help but a Duchess is like a Cherokee 6 they just sag all over the sky. You must have the power way back, 30 litres an hour out of a 360 is pushing it a bit. Maybe that cheep twin at YSBK will be out of the air soon getting some unsheduled valve work done.

French=?
At least the Slug has some room to play in, not like those French crapbox's. They wouldn't let kids play in yours from fear of the bog in the roof coming out and hitting them.
