These are complex, high performance twins. The old ones no matter
how clean always need attention. It may not always be something big. The
older ones are getting harder to find parts for. I was talking with a friend
of mind over drinks while snowmobiling and discussing my 200$ spent on a
couple of belts and injection oil for the weekend just in case bag. We are
both airplane and most recreational vehicle owners and we have the same
conclusion. Buying toys is but a small part of what it costs to use them.
You may be able to afford a 172 but insurance will be at least triple, as
well as most maintenance, hangars for a big twin are usually at least double
if you can find one the tail will fit into on small fields. Good luck
finding one and I hop that you do. They are the most wonderful airplanes to
fly. I have a 520 with augmenters, sounds great, short field animal.
I love my twin commander, but I came into it with the same mindset.
I bought what I thought to be a clean twin commander, and it really is, but
I have also had one twenty five thousand dollar annual in the last two
years. And I have a list of things that I would "like" to replace at this
annual.

Hey guys,
I have 300 hours in 500-B's...I am not a rich guy but make a better than
average wages and could easily afford a C-172.
However I am in love with the Commander...after doing exhaustive research on
the web and speaking to one gentleman whom claims he went bankrupt trying to
rebuild an old Commander...I still want one of these birds sooner or later.
Do you all know anyone that may have an affordable Commander for sale that
doesn't need to be worked over or in other words a nice clean Commander that
will last a while without the need of anything major?
Or is there someone that knows Commanders may be able to give me a hand in
searching for one?
Thanks guys...

Hi Guys,
Here's the deal. I'm thinking of going to the Commander University in
Fort Lauderdale and would like to fly non-stop from Puerto Rico. We're
talking approximately 900 nm, mostly over water. With my usual settings
of maximum speed (isn't it great to go fast) there's no way I can make
the mainland. I've looked at the manual and a 45% power settting at
10,000 ft. should make it. This translates into a TAS of 147 knots.
IAS should be like 120 or so. It's going to feel really slow!
Have any of you done max mpg tests? Any ideas beyond what's in the
manual.
Regards,
Jimmy

|

Brent,
The way I see it is this. These are not $75,000-150,000 airplanes.
These are $600,000 airplanes whose initial cost of entry is the smaller
number. If you're OK with this, then I think you can live happily with
the constant upgrading that these airplanes need. Good luck in your
search.
Jimmy

jim schiller in lantana florida has a low time, no corrosion 500 for sale. it
has new paint, new interior, low time engines, new fuel cells, new wiring, new
hydraulic hoses, etc... and it is everything but inexpensive. if you want cheap
annuals for a year or two this is the airplane. jim is one of the best aero
commander mechanics in the country and he has worked on them almost exclusively
for the last twenty years. if you decide to buy an aero commander twin and
want a mechanic to inspect it, he is the man. he can tell you within a few
dollars how much to get the aircraft in good condition. his number is 561-262-8155.
good luck finding a commannder. they are not as fast but much, much nicer than
anything else. women don't want to crawl up on the wing of an aztruck or baron
to get into the plane. i tell people with the flaps and gear out it is just
a big 152.

John,
I'm inclined to agree, in particular having any control locks in with the
engines running, ---- one day------ Murphies law '---- etc, you know the rest.
For what it is worth, in light/nil wind, I practiced with the rudder hard
over one way, with feet braced against the sidewall/center console, while I
got used to the delicacy needed for just taxying.
Cheers,
Bill Hamilton.

JB,
Clevelands do make them a trifle more touchy, than the original,don't they.
Even ( especially) on the T-28 I have to be real careful, it is very easy
to flatspot a tyre.
Cheers,
Bill Hamilton.

Just an interesting aside, when I was being trained by John Meredith in
ground handling, he showed me that at speeds above about 10 knots you can
maintain directional taxi control using the rudder, with no brake or
steering input at all.
He ended that lesson by saying, "that's why when you go places you see
Commander pilots taxiing like their tails are on fire."
