What makes a Comanche difficult to land? Is it because it's lower to the ground than a Bonanza?

On the other side of the spectrum an Airplane that was made in the 60's with 1100 Hours total time is VERY suspect.

Won't ever do that with my missions, I would have to purchase a Piper 6 to do that or rent one and even that the people in the back won't be very comfortable.

Hey you still didn't tell me what that 3rd airplane was.

I hear that a lot about Continental engines but wouldn't you pick the Comanche over the Bo because of a better made Lycoming engine? Heck if both airplanes are side by side and the specs are not much different I would pick the one that is more safe to fly. If I know that I'm going to have...

As far as my mission goes I can't imagine using Six seats. I would probably use three, (four Max) Including myself as the pilot.

Can you land on grass strips without issues with a Comanche?

I have to get in both and fly em to see which one I like. I like the Comanche because of the Lycoming Engine, (I hear they are more reliable then Conti) from what I see people fly em way past TBO. I like the Deb because you can get tip tanks faster than the Comanche. (I'm okay peeing in a...

Thanks for the info, that helped a lot! Were the tips from factory or installed later?

I just became a member Thanks for the info, I will check it out. Those both are amazing airplanes. I'm interested to hear about the 3rd one. I have to get in one to see what it's like, Do you think Comanche owners have a meetup website in Florida?

Is it a good first time airplane? how does it handle in IFR conditions? Does it handle like Archers? Thank you

Good point, you would have to be in a LOT of pain emotionally in order to do something like that. Like attracts like. If you put yourself through a lot of pain emotionally if has to surface itself somehow through ending your own life or ending the lives of others. I'm grateful that he didn't...

I have been thinking about Piper Comanches lately after coming back from OSH. If you had a choice between a Beechcraft Debonair or a Piper Comanche 260B which one would you choose? I also noticed that the 250's and 260's are pretty much the same price. Is there any pros and cons to both...

At OSH, I got full exposure to Piper Comanche's, never seen one in person before. I didn't get a chance to sit in one though but they are beautiful here is one I saw:

No, it's only tragic when someone dies by accident NOT by choice!
