I received my student pilot training in my dad's 680E, got my pilot's license (multi engine rating only) on my 17th birthday, and had to temporarily "unlearn" Commander flying to get my single engine rating a few months later in a 172. My dad has owned two 680Es and a 680W, so we both have a lot of time in Commanders and are fairly familiar with their strong and weak points. My dad sold his 680W in the early 80's, and although I've flown other twins since then (mainly a friend's Baron), we are itching to get back into a Commander. We like the 680FLP and 685, but *really* want a Turbo if it's feasible. We've looked at a number of ads, and talked to several people, but are always interested in new opinions, insights, and leads. We would like to keep the "out the door" price (purchase plus all necessary repairs, inspections, and annual) under $250K. We've heard about a few relatively cheap "project" planes out there, and although we're not averse to buying one that needs work, it would have to be one that will be worth what we put into it when all is said and done. We definitely don't want to end up with a gorgeous, well-equipped Commander that can't be flown because of a mandatory repair that costs more than the whole aircraft would be worth, or even worse, needing an essential part that is no longer available. I welcome all advice. Thanks in advance!

It easily capture all costs and turn-around-times to help complete the work on schedule and on budget. It makes quoting and invoicing a repair and overhaul an easy process by capturing expenses and performing automatic markups. Could you please forward this to the appropriate person within your company that is in charge of computer systems. To see a demonstration of the software please view: http://www.ibapps.com/html/woturbine.htm. Should you desire more information please contact me at 858-674-7377 or via E-mail for an electronic brochure or a software demonstration.

If you purchase a 680F(p) or a 680Fp you can avoid the dreaded rotary poisoning which is so common on the turbine models. (Just kidding, I am in the piston business.) Seriously, I have a 680F(p) and love it. The wing spar AD on this model is not as severe as it is on several other models.

I have learned more about seemingly simple issues here than anywhere in a course or book about general aviation. It has to do with the aspect ratio of a propellor blade. From what I remember from groundschool is that higher aspect ratio airfoils have lower drag and are more conducive to higher altitude flying, while lower aspect ratios would be more useful in slow speed, lower altitude flying. If the propellor blade is nothing other than a rotating airfoil, then why do some aircraft (turbines particularly) have high aspect ratio blades while others seem to have low aspect ratio blades, which make them appear rather short and stubby, like the Piper Meridian and the Pilatus. Don't turbines perform better at high altitudes, excluding the Cessna 208 perhaps, and would, therefore, do better with high aspect ratio blades?
