Saw one about 30 years ago. It was in YAG and the plane had an American registration. The back prop really got chewed on takeoff.

I think the upper picture is called an O-2TT, a production airplane, powered with Allison 250s front and back.

The lower pic must be a mod.

The bottom one is a nice looking machine. The top one needs a second engine. One would never be enough to haul all that fugly around. :D

Guess this machine is purely a sucker. TPE 331 powered.
