I have had IO-470's in other aircraft and always found the engines sound but you
don't overheat or overwork them and the cylinders will stay the course.
Of course i always give a little more fuel on cruise as they really need
their body fluids for cooling...and that starts the "Lean of Peak" argument.
P-Punk has a STC for installing the 520 cylinders on the block and is quite
successful....but it only applies to the 0-470...I wonder why it won't work
on injected?

Jim,
I owned a stock straight 500 and it appeared to outperform the A model. I
once took a 500A up for a short flight and felt it should've done better
compared to the 500 in terms of climb and cruise performance. The other
thing was, of course, the reliability and TBO of the Lycomings. With the
necessary soft-hand handling and care, we could take them well beyond the
2,000 hr TBO without top overhauls. I doubt whether Continentals would let
you fly past 1,000 hours or so before requiring some sun light on the
pistons.
My recollection of the A's performance is admittedly wholly suspect, so your
perception would be appreciated.
Thanks
Nico

Jim,
After ticking off the traffic at the airport by taxing for a couple of hours
...The first take-off re-enforced all my desires to own a Commander.
She may not be all powerfull but after I get a couple of bugs out of her because
of non use, I am very pleased with the bird.

Good Morning Jim,
Just out of curiosity, has anyone replaced the O-470s with IO-550 engines?
I have heard some rumors that Colemill has offered a conversion that uses
the sand cast case of the 470 and has Continental build up a 550 version
thereof. That would be nice, but I think the full factory Permold case 550 would
be fabulous on your airplane. The engine should fit right in the same spot,
weigh less and develop a lot more power.
We have made that change in our J35 Bonanza and it is the best money I ever
spent on an airplane.
From my memory of flying the early 520 Commanders, I believe the combination
of the early light weight airframe and the IO-550 would be a beautiful
machine.
Happy Skies,
Old Bob

For a while I had both an Aero Commander and a Piper Twin Comanche, another
bird I loved to fly. The logic was that when I travel alone or with only one
pax, I would jump into the Comanche. If the trip is to be an extended one
with two or more pax, I would use the Commander. It only held true for a
little while. For some reason the Commander got the additional avionics and
hence, the additional rides. So, the Comanche, eventually, left the stable.
:-)
It's just the way it is.

Hello Old Bob,
I am not as up to date as some of the other people on the group but I don't
know of the conversion however Colemill would sure be a good place to start
looking.
