Not sure how takeoff distance compares with the 421 but the 685 is superior in every other respect. A lot of 685 operators who complained of poor TO performance were always op erating well over Gross at takeoff. If I remember correctly it will hold ove 1800 pounds of fuel. Full tanks ar e seldom necessary for most flights. Average fuel burn was 48 GPH and cruise was 205KTS TAS consistently. The GTSO 520Ks will probably need top overhuals at 900 hrs. The bottom end of the engines should meet or exceed TBO if treated properly. Lots of old wives tails about the 685s most of them untrue. We have at least 2 685 check pilots on the list who can give you further gu idance. -------- Milt Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=382879#382879 st" target="_blank">http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Commander-List http://forums.matronics.com le=2C List Admin. ="_blank">http://www.matronics.com/contribution -- Thank You Paul Gendron for www.RPMCommander.com LLC 954-547-3002
