Hi Nico, et al,
The brochures & booklets mentioned by Gary & Deneal are "OK", but I'm
pretty sure they contain errors.
Sadly, it seems that Aero Commander/Rockwell supplied erroneous data to
the media and it was accepted and published in, for example, Jane's "All
The World's Aircraft".
Some of the dimensions were particularly susceptible to being wrong.
I have been 'working' with a few other guys, one of whom was an Engineer
with Aero Commander from the very early 60's and we have ironed-out all
the squawks.
So, I am sending the correct data to Nico to go into the website.
Once it is "on display" and you think something is wrong, by all means
shout.
I will then have the opportunity to double-check the data and explain
what the true situation is.
Also, once the Specs are available for perusal, let us know whether
other data should be included and we will "sort it".
One area that is difficult is the "Empty Weight".
Because of the original customer specs for any one given aircraft, the
Empty Weight will, of course, vary.
I'm absolutely certain that most Empty weight figures in the various
Handbooks etc will reflect an aircraft delivered with only extremely
basic instruments, radios & equipment. In numerous cases, these basic
items were added to by the Distributor before the aircraft was finally
handed over to the original customer.
Very Best Regards,
Barry
