    More Piper Comanche questions!

    Lets say a Cessna 310, It does make sense that maintenance costs are more than a single engine airplane because two of everything. Would a twin Comanche be a worth it jump from a single Comanche? Is the extra maintenance costs worth it to upgrade?

    More Piper Comanche questions!

    Someone sent me this you tube video on the Comanche: It was nicely done but something didn't seem right during 2:50 in the video he said: "If I can load it into my Honda Accord it can load in my Comanche" Then he went on to say: "With a 90 gallon capacity Comanches can do 1200 miles" I know...

    How safe/unsafe is glider flying?

    From this post, Gliders sound pretty cool. It's also one of the things that will make you a better pilot as well.

    Beverly MA, 17 YO student pilot lands after wheel fell off.

    Right...even if the airplane is new my CFI made me check a fixed gear airplane every time I flew. No need to get complacent.

    More Piper Comanche questions!

    I believe comparing a Comanche to a Debonair is a pretty good comparison after reading the POH on both, (Minus any speed mods) They both can do about 160kts and over 800 pounds useful load. I did notice that the Deb has more landing gear parts so more things are likely to fail. Now I have to...

    Ferrari vs Cessna

    I was going to buy a 360 a few years ago but my wife told me to buy a "Regular" car and rent an exotic...best move I ever made, (Did I ever mention my wife is smarter than me when it comes to those kind of decisions :) ) Those are among the only cars that actually appreciated over time! I...

    Airventure 2018 attendance numbers are in!!

    Part of the reason why I wanted to attend OSH this year is because I wanted to know for sure the health of GA not just hearing hearsay. I was there for 1 week, (First time) and it was PACKED! many more people than I was used to at SnF. There are a LOT of new stuff out there too, Mooney...

    More Piper Comanche questions!

    From what I'm reading the same applies with the Comanche. During the 1,000 hour inspection (Or pre buy) The landing gear has to be inspected VERY carefully and dissembled to check the bolts and bushings to make sure they aren't worn.
