Any help would be appriciatted. Also on the Model 685 will it be required to remove all of the fuel cells to do this AD or can the cells be moved out of the way enough and still be left in the wing bays. Thanks, Herman Hill ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:58:02 AM PST US From: "Larry Wokral" Subject: Commander-List: RE: Aerocommander 685 Possibly for Sale --> Commander-List message posted by: "Larry Wokral" There is a fellow that has a 685 based here at my local field (Hamilton MT, 6S5). I spoke with him yesterday, and he told me he will probably be putting it up for sale shortly. He is older, doesn't have an instrument rating, and can't get insured. It has been in his hangar unflown for a couple of years. Our local mechanic is presently doing an annual on it. It looks like a real clean airplane. The mechanic is a friend of mine, and he said he has found no major faults. They are looking for someone to do the spar cap inspection now. The exterior paint is mostly a gray silver and is in very good condition. The interior looks like it has been reupholstered in a beige cream leather (maybe a leather like vinyl) recently. The radio stack is mixed King and older, but looks good. I believe that he said the engines are getting close to the 1,200 TBO, but that they have good compressions. I don't know what he will want for it (or what they are worth for that matter). If anyone is interested let me know, and I'll have him get in touch with you.

The fuel cells will require removal. There is a good shop here in the Portland, OR area. Aero Air can do the work. If you can ferry the airplane. Morris Kernick, Commander Services 321-403-8813 can also do a great job but is further away in Stockton CA. Good luck. jb ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 09:40:01 AM PST US From: "Larry Wokral" Subject: Commander-List: 685 Commander --> Commander-List message posted by: "Larry Wokral" I just gave the wrong engine times on the 685 that I said might be for sale. One engine has about 400 hrs., and the other about 1,110. Larry Wokral
