HI KIDS.
Just a quick update. I bought a pair of Twin bonanzas in AZ. One
has very low time and great condition engines and "0" props. I am leaving
tomorrow morning for the long drive (1571 miles) to remove them.
I plan to have tripe two flying again in a couple weeks??? Hope all is
well in your Commanderland. jb

Good to hear that JB! Maybe I missed the "rest of the story", but what
exactly happened to tripple-two? All I caught was that there was some
major engine problem. Hadn't you just put new engines on her?

I walked around 222 last week and it was still safe and sound in the
compound.
Sure is a curvy looking machine, compared to my "B" anyway.

I had installed a "borrowed" engine on the left side. The engines that had
been represented as "0" were not. The seller is a wonderful, honest and
honorable man and when it was shown they were not overhauled, (In fact one was
red
tagged) he gave me my $$ back and loaned me an engine until I could get mine
overhauled.
I installed it and it ran great!! I flew it around here about 2 hours
and then headed to Canada on biz. About 10 seconds after takeoff from
abbotford, it through a counterweight through the case. I had retracted the LG,
but
the flaps were still down. I reached up and pulled the props to 3200 and BANG.
The counterweight knocked a huge hole on the case/oil pan and started a fire.
I burned all of the wiring on the outboard side of the engine and got hot
enough to warp the lower cowling. The fire went through the augmenter and even
burned the paint at the back of the nacelle.
I feather it and the fire went out. Landed without trouble. The
hardiest part was taxing back on one!!
Anyway, I have now found two great, low time (153 $ 395) and a pair of
"0" props in AZ. Hope to be flying again in 3 - 4 weeks. jb

Let's see. A pair of Twin Bonanzas. Does that make it 4 Bonanzas? Or is
that the same Twin pairs of Bonanzas?
I just hope Dick Ward* doesn't find out you're cannibalizing his beloved
T-Bones. Next thing that will happen is the T-Bone owners will start
cannibalizing Twin Commanders.
Maybe the two groups will merge with a composite airplane: The Twin
Bonander. Or the Twin Commanza.
What ever. Glad you'll get your 680-E airborne again.
Wing Commander Gordon
* For those of you who don't know, Dick Ward is to Twin Bonanzas what our own
Capt. JimBob is to Commanders. The two aircraft were direct competitors in
their day and there is a lot of crossover on engine and airframe issues that
both groups deal with and can assist each other with.
