I have owned and sold a lot of Colemill 550 Barons, 12 in the last year alone. The owner of this one is the most fastidious aircraft owner you will ever find. He wanted it perfect in every way, and this one is as near to perfect as you will find. It is rigged perfectly, the injectors are so evenly balanced, you start to wonder if the engine monitor is working as all the temps read the same across all the EGTs. You can run this one 100 degrees lean of peak without any misfire or vibration. CHTs are never over 320 degrees unless you're doing something wrong. The Colemill 550s on the B55 give unbelievable performance. There are very slight differences in each plane. I've flown over 20 different B55 conversions, and this one is the fastest and smoothest! With the full deice, sat. weather, color radar, electronic charts and 550 engine Colemill engines, this is one capable airplane with cruise altitudes in the flight levels. Why would someone sell this airplane? The owner bought the only logical replacement, a Black Hawk converted C90 King Air which some call the same relative upgrade on the King Air as was done on the 550 Colemill converted B55 Baron.
