That would be great.  We need one calibrated up to 260kt for the C310
-- here's a picture of what I think is the right one:

That's a hard call -- there's a good case for each as the starting
aircraft.  The C172 has a much simpler powerplant, but the user will
have to deal with p-factor on takeoff; the C310 has counter-rotating
engines (therefore no p-factor), but more complex powerplant and a
fuller panel (and gear to worry about).


All the best,
