    Subject: RE: Orenda Engine
    Nico, This was a long drawn out project, and anyone with less drive and tenacity than Dick Macoon would have given up in the very early stages. Trying to certify a water cooled V-8 with the FAA is an almost insurmountable task. This was originally the Thunder engine, and while I do not have the info. Here at my office I believe that it started in about 1978? Listening to Dick talk about some of the problems (both technical and business wise) that they faced and solved is most interesting.

    When I purchased 685TT in January, 2006, in Midland, Tx. someone told me that the Orenda Engine Project was being conducted in Midland. I can't remember who told me, but it may have been Dick MacCoon. Buddy <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> AOL now offers free email to everyone.

    Subject: Blue book question
    Hi All, I know this is a Commander list, but I was hoping somebody could help me out with a Cessna price question... Does anybody know the approximate price of a 1979 Cessna 310 R II Turbo in 1986/87 with about 400-500 hrs TT, Known Ice, loaded panel? Yes, yes, I know I shouldn't be swearing on the Commander list. :-) If anybody has an old blue book, or if you remember some of the prices back then, I'd be grateful for that info. Thanks in advance. God bless, Andrew

I visited the Shadow Race Team facilities in Marina, California (near the former Fort Ord) around 1979. This was the test cell facility Mr. RPM was using to run and Dynamo the Thunder Engine. The FAA could not comprehend the ideas, technology nor the alloys Mr. RPM was using in this engine and thus made them do a tear down every 50 hours, if I'm not mistaken on the interval. Lots of red tape, resulting in red ink and finally they had to surrender. Then, almost 20 years later the Orenda Engine flew. Dakota Aero was in business to do the conversions. Somewhere between North Dakota and Canada where the engines were to be built, money, patients and relationships ran out and it all came to a stop. Again. I'm kind of excited to hear there may be one more swing at this -- it's the closest and most realistic engine retrofit for the 680F series and 685 Commanders. Wing Commander Gordon

    Subject: RE: Orenda Engine
    Nico- When the autopilot on N414C went Tango Uniform- I discovered that it was goign to be as expensive to fix as it would be to replace with a modern new autopilot. I started out on my quest to find a solution that would work for me AND would get approved by FAA. If my initial experience were a sitcom- the TV Guide synopsis would read like this: "Pilot interested to enhance the safety of a 685 Commander approaches the FAA with proposal to remove 1960s vintage euipment and replace it with modern technology capable of reducing pilot workload and improving safety of flight for the airplane. Hilarity ensues." It only took 17 months- but I was finally able to find a fellow (two actually) at FAA who thought the idea had merit strictly from a safety standpoint... These guys were open minded- heard my suggestion out- did some research and then advocated on my behalf to the boss at the ACO. Now THAT is how the relationship with FAA **SHOULD** work.
