To whom it may concern, we have no business interest with the owners of
Aero Commander 500 N6291B S/N 683 and no disagreement with anyone.
However, in January of this year we did have a complete pre-purchase
inspection done on this aircraft which we think might be of interest to
anyone interested in purchasing the aircraft. We offer it at a reduced
price as a service to members of the wing who may be interested in
purchasing the aircraft and would otherwise have to pay a significantly
higher price for a second inspection. If anyone is interested we will
detail the items covered.

Rob,
The aircraft was inspected by Kevin Coons, a long time member of the
wing and a respected buyers agent for Twin Commanders. I would hope we
were not "taken" and I believe the cost of the inspection was well
worth it.

Curt, Glad to meet you,
If you paid for anything more than a 10 hour pre-buy, you wasted your money.
less than 10 months before, $24,000 was spent fixing every little nut and bolt
that had a hint of rust on it, as well as mostly new hydraulics....pages of
details. We replaced one nose wheel line and a couple bolts in a trim tab that
were too long. In the 50 hours I've flown it, she's not so much as hiccuped.
Auto pilot rock steady. Starts instantly, fly's perfectly, and everything works
on the next flight. And the comfort is amazing. 8 hours to Reno and not even
a sore back. My Deville isn't that comfortable. 20 GPH at 190 MPH at 12000
ft.. Good to hear from you,
Regards,
Rob

Curtis,
What's this $5,000 story? It sounds as if you were involved with the plane
long before this sale and now try to rip folks off for your previous
expenses. It is not the way things are done here, Dude.

According to the logs, Bilbo, nothing was done to her. The mechs. where we
bought her said someone looked at the books and did a compression check. We had
the oil changed, and a hydraulic hose on the nose wheel repaired before we
flew her home. Thats all I know about.
Thanks.

The inspection includes a complete mechanical inspection by an
independent IA familiar with the aircraft type flown in to inspect
airframe, engines, and systems. A complete review of all aircraft
repairs and modifications for correct execution. The report includes a
review by Mr. Coons of all paper work to insure all ADs and
modifications are correct and in order pursuant to an export C of A.
The report is eight pages with attached photographs in support of all
findings. And no, we did not proceed to annual which would have been
required for the export C of A.

Curt,
This is where I am coming from: I infer nothing from any other source but
what you and others have written on the subject. I am purely holding this up
as a mirror to reflect back to you what you have written.
Rob owns the plane, has spent money on her, flown her, and can personally
testify as to her condition and the work done on her. We know that a pre-buy
shouldn't cost more than a fraction of what your fee is for outdated
services that do not rise to the level of a prudent pre-buy inspection. You,
it appears now, have never consulted with the seller, but yet you are
offering a bunch of paperwork and photographs for an outrageous sum of
money.
Your emails sound as if the service will be provided, but then you continue
to speak as if it has already been completed in January. If the former, you
must have an understanding with Mr. Coons that, after having flown "an
independent IA familiar with the aircraft type" to the plane to inspect all
sorts of systems, he will review, and certify, all paperwork to insure all
matters have been complied with. If the latter, you must already be in
possession of the report with Mr. Coons' signature on it. Either way, you
are trying to sell unsolicited services that appear to mitigate some costs
you incurred previously instead of a genuine benefit to the members. That,
Dude, is what is not done here. If you have a genuine service of benefit to
the members, we all will gladly listen and respond. This, however, won't
fly.
You didn't offend me. In my opinion your motives and business practices
appear to be questionable.
Perhaps the more relevant question should be "where are YOU coming from.."
Nico

Subject: | 560A for sale in WA |
--> Commander-List message posted by: "Stan" <swperk@earthlink.net>
Hi everyone,
I just got back from a trip to Twin Commander Aircraft in Arlington, WA.
What a great group of people (but you already knew that)!
Just in case this isn't already general knowledge:
While I was at KAWO, I saw a pristine 560A that is for sale. It was
owned by an avionics company that went out of business recently.
Apparently, the plane was used by the company as an avionics test bed,
and has what appears to be new paint, interior, and avionics. I don't
know the condition of the engines, but I was told that this plane has
been flown regularly and recently. I can provide several interior and
exterior photos and the seller's contact information if anyone is
interested.
Regards,
Stan

Hi Stan,
Even though I cannot entertain a purchase right now, it would be nice to
have the pics since I am collecting Commander pics for my website. If you
would send them directly to my email address, I will post them and let the
list know so that everyone can enjoy them.
Thanks

Nico,
You seem speak for the wing on matters of ethics, prices, and
practices. I've heard nothing particular from anyone other than
yourself. Perhaps, it's a case of other's letting you do the speaking
for them.
For the sake of argument I'll assume you have a basis or authority for
your representation of how things should be done, what things should
cost and that you're experienced in the export of aircraft and clearly
understand the requirements for FAA issuance of a C of A. I'll ignore
the personal insults to myself and to the people who produced the
report and simply state again the situation so it is clearly understood
by everyone who's reading this exchange and they can be free to make
their own determination.
We have not offered any service, or requested any fees. We have not
taken any position regarding the aircraft and we have clearly stated we
have no business or other interest in the sale, or the purchase of the
aircraft and that we have no bones to pick with anyone, including
yourself. I'll assume you're in the same position.
The inspection report was purchased from a reputable person with
extensive knowledgeable in the aircraft type and the mechanical
inspection was done by an independent mechanic knowledgeable on the
aircraft type. We've stated what the report contains and when it was
accomplished. Anyone who wants the report should clearly understand it
reflects the work done as of 22 January 2005 and that some aspects of
the aircraft obviously may have changed in the intervening time period.
The price paid for any report is determined by market dictates -- as is
any price. The price of any pre-purchase inspection report (or any Due
Diligence report for that matter) normally reflects the amount of
expertise, effort and detail which go into it. However, we have not
claimed the the report was purchased at the best price available. We do
believe it is a valuable asset which honestly represents the aircraft
as it was on 22 January 2005. As it is a report we no longer have a
use for we have offered it for sale, much as we sell parts we no longer
have a use for. We have not offered the report at any specific price;
we've simply said it is available. What is paid for any item is
normally an agreement between knowledgeable buyers and sellers.
This appears to offend to you and you are free to write your opinion.
I see nothing wrong with it and believe it is an attempt to be helpful.
What I do not see as helpful under any circumstances is personal
insults and believe these should be kept off the site. If you wish to
discuss it further. although I see little you want to offer that you've
not already provided, please feel free to email me directly at
cperry@subictel.com.
