You were already slower, took more runway, climbed less, used the same fuel, and had less single engine performance. Therefore paying someone thousands to make your airplane even more quiet would make it even slower, take even more runway, climb even less, use more fuel, and etc....... Sorry but since nobody has said the word "SUMP!!" lately I thought I would stir things up a bit. When was the last time somebody bought a Commander because it was Quiet anyway!!! Get some ANR headsets, and spend the rest on AVGAS!!!!!!!!

The new owner has been flying the wings off of 1VV. What a glorious sound. If you guys really want to know my opinion on geared engines the only thing I can do is take a picture of the silly grin I get every time I fly. A doctor friend of mine who has been a 310 man is now seeing the error of his ways after 20 minutes in my GEARED commander. Shorter takeoff, better cruise, and that lovely sound. If you want something quiet buy something that burns Kerosene. Jody P.S. can anyone tell me why I am not a member yet. Filled out the membership form twice and no reply or evidence of being a member. ----- Original Message ----- From: Subject: Commander-List: Re: Feedback > --> Commander-List message posted by: JETPAUL@aol.com > > In a message dated 3/25/2003 2:55:46 AM Eastern Standard Time, > commander-list-digest@matronics.com writes: > > > Could there possibly be an advantage to NOT HAVING GEARS???????? :>) > > > > bilbo > > > > Nope, Sorry Bilbo!!!!
