Thanks Andrew for the response. I am leaning towards a JPI unit
at this time. So far I have heard many positive things about
JPI. Still doing research.

Randy, my brother was looking at an AuRacle engine analyser for
his Twin Comanche; didn't end up buying one in the end - they
were all too expensive in South Africa. He said that, given the
resources, the AuRacle would likely be his choice. It has USB
transfer and apparently is (software) upgradeable via USB too.
Don't know anything else about it.
God bless,
Andrew

Randy,
I still feel strongly that the JPI is the one to get for these reasons:
1) It's a TWIN model, you only need to occupy one hole in your panel
2) The built-in fuel totalizer is great
3) The data logging & retrieval functions work perfectly (I love that
feature) via RS-232 to Serial cable.
I just bring my laptop in the airplane every now & then and download all
the data. The software provided by JPI is great, I can graph CHT, EGT,
Fuel flow, and break them down any way I want. Makes a bad plug, failing
valve etc. very easy to detect....before it fails.
Here are a couple of articles on engine management where the JPI plays a
big part. I like John Deakin's work and tend to agree with him,
especially vs. the Old Wives' Tales that Lycoming and Continental
occasionally still spew:
http://www.avweb.com/news/pelican/182176-1.html (Good graphics of the
JPI software graphs)
http://www.avweb.com/news/pelican/182084-1.html (Love this one, it's the
LOP vs. ROP argument)
Here's a link to all Deakin's articles. The JPI appears in many:
http://www.avweb.com/news/pelican/182544-1.html
Incidentally, I got quite a break on the price. I have been told that a
JPI install is roughly 40 hrs. At today's shop rates, your $8k estimate
is about right.
Cheers,
/John

Hi Randy... just as well - apparently I was talking through my hat. My
brother tells me that, while the download features are good on the
AuRacle, it is only available for a limited number of aircraft.
God bless,
Andrew

| Subject: | Seriously searching for 500 |
Hi folks, I have been searching high and low for a year and a half for the right
500B or 500S. I am looking for a solid airframe, less than 5,000 TT, NDH, no
corrosion or undocumented repairs. Prefer an A/C that has stayed in the US and
well cared for. Time on engines and props not important. Avionics not important.
Paint and interior not important. All logs and hopefully hangared. I am a
very motivated buyer. Any ideas? Anybody have any leads? I have already looked
at three A/C that have been big disappointments. Please help a hungry Commander
buyer (I am a private individual). Thanks,
Brad

Brad,
All your criteria should be easy to meet, except perhaps the "less than
5,000 TT." I have an airplane that has over 18,000 TT on it, and it
flies as well as any of the 3,000 TT Commanders that I've flown. On
these airframes, TT doesn't matter one iota. Lose that requirement and I
can think of 2 airplanes right off the bat that would fit your needs....
Cheers,
/John
