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?

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?

Also, where are the engine cowlings? You usually don't take them off unless you're doing some pretty in-depth work... ----- Original Message ----- From: Barry Collman To: commander-list@matronics.com Sent: Saturday, June 23, 2007 2:58 PM Subject: Re: Commander-List: 1964 Aero Commander Twin 680 FL(P) on Ebay 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.
