Everyone I know that has flown a 421 swears that the aircraft has tried to kill them on more than one occasion... there is something that isnt so cool about having a wastegate on one turbo, slam and stay fully open, whilst cruising at FL200, rendering that engine useless.....

Is that the venerable ZK-LOY?

Ahh pheuey thats got nothing to do with the 421 itself. That can happen to any turbo engine. Although, those geared GTSIO-520s are mongrel engines but are on a few other types. I myself havent flown the 421 but have done a bitta time on the old 402 which is more or less the same thing, but not pressureised and not as fast, little brother basicly, they're a beautyfull plane to fly, like a 172 but a bit more complicated :lol:
