I have never heard of a Hobbs meter fire. Bilbo, Sorry to hear of your trials and tribulations. Sounds like it wasn't your nuts you needed to grease ... I love that observation about Hobbs meter fires. Good point! Wing Commander Gordon In a message dated 10/09= /03 16:41:51 Pacific Daylight Time, bowing74@earthlink.net writes:

Sorry to hear of your trials and tribulations. Sounds like it wasn't y= our nuts you needed to grease ...

I love that observation about Hobbs meter fires. Good point!

Wing Commander Gordon ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:52:27 AM PST US From: "css nico" Subject: Re: Commander-List: buyers guide --> Commander-List message posted by: "css nico" Bilbo, The reason I suggested Colemills, (didn't know you had a 25K investment on the other side) is that I had once flown an A and was not impressed with the performance and adding the horsepower that Colemills could put on the wings would make it a really nice, safe ship. But, I guess, it's more ignorance speaking than logic, because I was totally in love with my straight 500. The same ignorance is evident when I hear people degrading a twin Comanche and then find out they have never flown one. A Twin Comanche is a very nice plane provided one recognizes its limitations. The same ought to be true of the 500A. This list has done wonders exchanging information between Commander enthusiasts, but would it be of value setting up an exchange board, so if someone has anything aviation related to sell, trade, barter, or give away, one could publish it? Right now it's by email and if one misses the email, it's quite a chore trying to find it again in the archive. One could publish services of CFIs, examiners, insurance brokers with a prove track record with Commanderites, and so on. Take your need for an engine or shell or perhaps just spares, for instance. If someone in Australia or South Africa has an engine and knows about your plight, such an exchange board may facilitate the connection. You may find someone who would want to take the good engine off your hands opening opportunities to invest in Colemills. Who knows? Just a thought.
