A Comanche 250 with Tip Tanks would be perfect for this. With tips you have 86 gallons usable, 145-150 kts (10K ft 65% HP), burning 13-14 (100* ROP) gal an hour a solid 5.5 - 6.0 hrs with 45 min reserve. Full fuel useful load on mine is 660 lbs. Depending on wind and where you are starting...

Following as I have a GTN 650 and do not have the VNAV option either.

Lol that’s funny, my wife is from San Sebastián and we go there pretty much every summer. This is our retirement destination as well, or at least winters. Love the area and food.

Thanks George. It is rather clunky but that could be cause its new. :-) Flav

Just bought a brand new Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 for $5,900. 3 yr unlimited mileage warranty. A lot of fun and simple. https://www.royalenfield.com/

Yes, I saw the other threads and skimmed through them, but I did not see where someone posted a link that we could complain to NOAA. Flav

Thanks For Windy.com, I will try it out.

Morning Everyone, As I am sure you are all aware NOAA discontinued this product before it’s replacement was available. I think this was a mistake, as it was a tool that allowed us to look out 3 days and, for me anyway, extended the go/no-go decision making process out long enough to make...

Isn’t Spring Fun?

No Problem. The tips are from a company called JL Osborne. https://www.jlosborne.com/piper.htm They are the best speed mod available for the Comanche. You get extra load and an extra 2 hrs of fuel....if you butt can handle it. :-)

I second WeatherSpork. It will not give you 10 days out, but it does do 3 days. For longer term I suggest you run the model yourself. http://mag.ncep.noaa.gov/model-guidance-model-parameter.php?group=Model%20Guidance&model=GFS&area=NAMER&ps=area

Thanks for letting us know. Flav

Please do report back. Interested to hear what they say. I have a dual G5 set up in my Comanche and no back up other then the IPAD.

Can I get a promotional code? :-)

Mmm...what’s the big deal? So she knocked back a few at Oshkosh a while ago. Who really cares?
