There is a blurb, starting on page 44, of the new AOPA Pilot, which I feel is
somewhat less than complimentary of the 601XL. Once again, we are probably
being hurt by reporting based on less than full facts.
I don't have the full facts, either, but I'm not writing articles in national
magazines, nor issuing government reports. I've written my concerns to AOPA;
there may be others who wish to do the same.
On the devaluation of the 601XL: I remember the same thing happening to the
Globe Swift. It had a lot of crashes initially, because it was under powered
when it first came out. A switch from an 85hp to 125 hp engine fixed that,
but no one remembered this. They were cheap, and no own wanted them.
Years later, it seems to have been forgotten. Now, they are much in demand at
prices far above the $3K they sold for in the late 1960s.
Perhaps we'll be fortunate, and the problem soon forgotten, or the problem
clearly identified and a fix found.
