Hey guys!
I realized some things this week. I kinda got wrapped up with the excitement of the possibility of "flying" twins. As was pointed out, I have been "flying" the super charged Beaver like a normally aspirated Bellanca Scout. Here's the "or Not" part of the title of the thread. Should I learn to "fly" a super/turbo charged single engine aircraft before moving to twins, or will I be ok "flying" normally aspirated twins for now? How would this be handled in the real world of aviation?
If it's better to learn to "fly" super/turbo charged single engines first, I'm eye balling Eaglesoft's Columbia 400 Turbo (now the Cessna 400 Corvalis TT, I think) for a tricycle gear aircraft. Thanks again for any and all input...
Semper Fi,
Dave

You can go right into a turbo twin before learning to fly a turbo single. It's all about engine management. Manifold pressure in turbo and supercharged engines has to be decreased very slowly to avoid shock cooling. Whether you're doing it with one or two engines doesn't matter all too much.
Eaglesoft's Columbia is a great plane btw...
