560
Hello Marcos,
I cannot help with your wiring diagram problem, but Richard's suggestion of
contacting Twin Commander is your best option.
Geoffrey Pence or Bill Ball (the Engineering Librarian) should be able to
help, although Bill is not at work until early in January, as he's been in
hospital.
Which Commander are you restoring?
Certainly good news that one of the early examples is being cared for!
Best Regards,
Barry Collman

Commander 560
Hi folks, I've been looking for this for awhile just to get an idea of what
the original wiring in my commander was supposed to look like. Probably
40-50% of the wiring has been "upgraded/replaced/modified" however much of
the older braided wiring is still in place and connecting to things that few
of the A/Ps around here can readily identify. At least for function we can
figure much out, but not necessary where the wires go from there. Since
this is a restoration project, I'm not in any time rush, but would like to
get a handle on much of the wiring (and the removal of much of the older
unused wiring) while the plane is in pieces...
Marcos
P.S. This is for an Aero Commander 560 (GO-480 engines).

Does any one have or know where I can find a copy of the FAA vs. Mr.
Claus.
It is where the FAA inspector is going to give Santa a big violation. He
can
not find where he has a medical much less an IFR ticket and he is sure
that
the spar in the slay is not strong enough to carry all those toys. He
knows
that one red light is not legal for night and he also knows that flying
one
night a year does not meet the rules for IFR. It has a lot more.

Hello All,
John Towner is unable to reply to postings on the chatlist, so I've copied
input from him as follows:
"I have been reading TCFG comments about wiring diagrams for AC's. My
computer will not let me reply to TCFG. Just my 2 cents worth.
When we have purchased a Commander to put into service (cargo) we have
removed all avionics and wiring, installed new instrument panels etc.,
removing about 350 lbs of weight and installed new King silver crown
avionics and antennas weighting about 55 lbs total giving us about 300 lbs
more useful load.
I can tell many stories about flying with the old avionics, not being able
to talk to anyone and needing to obtain light gun signals to land.
OH! Merry Christmas and have a great holiday season."
Best Regards,
Barry

Hi Jim,
Just read your TCFG note on misfueling. The stories are endless and the
fuel caps we lost prior to 1985 are pretty scary. I think I told you in
1985 we changed to a different fuel cap that has really saved the day for
us many times since. I think we have been misfueled over the years 8-10
times and caught it every time before takeoff except once and our pilot
dead sticked it back (very lucky).
Give Sue a hug and have a great Christmas and holiday season.
YOUR old FRIEND,
JT

HI KIDS..Those of you who are a registered Commander owner should soon rec
eived your copy of Twin&Turbine magazine. On the cover is a great photo
of Chris Haag's ill fated Shrike There is a well written several page st
ory inside. You will remember that it was tragically miss-fueled in Canad
a and a total loss. I was standing next to this wonderful airplane only
days before it was lost. No one was injured, but is is so sad to be remi
nded of the loss. Chris poured his soul (and countless $$$) into this dre
am Commander. jb ( PS Don't you just love the repaint in the original
Shrike scheme!!!) jb
