Anyone know the background on this plane? Can you commander experts fill me in
on the Mr RPM executive 800 conversion? Reputation, performance, etc. What
is the max pressure differential on these?
Seems like it'd be one hell of a capable airplane.

Hello Phillip,
I expect there are guys on the list who can give you a run-down on the
performance of the Turbo 800 680FLP.
What I can tell you is that only 36 680FLP's were built, with two of
these subsequently converted to another Model (1 to 680FL, 1 to 680T).
Of the remaining 36, 13 have had the Mr RPM Turbo 800 conversion.
Original engines were Lycoming IGSO-540-B1A or -B1C.
I think Tylor Hall knows this plane, so no doubt he will have some
input. 'Wing Commander' Gordon may also have 'inspected' it, but I'm not
sure.
Serial Number is 1477-5 (the 1,477th Commander built, and the 5th Model
680FLP). Was first Certificated on December 27th 1964.
I haven't traced any accident damage, but I think there was a Form 337
dated August 4th 2004 outlining repairs to lower right fuselage and
belly.
That might indicate a collapse of the Right MLG, so it may be prudent to
ask.
I'd like to know what the "New Full Length Blades" are. Anyone any idea
what blade model is involved?

Judging by the amount of rust visible on the brake rotor in the
pictures, that airplane hasn't flown in a while. Also, where are the
engine cowlings? You usually don't take them off unless you're doing
some pretty in-depth work...
