New antennae. The Aero Commander Model 560
is noted for it's short field performance, rugged landing gear suitable
for rough field operation and its ability to handle heavy loads.
The Twin Commander was the aircraft selected to fly President Eisenhower
from the grass strip on his Gettysburg, PA farm to DC during his
presidency, which testifies to the reputation of the airframe. How does this sound? - 6 people (@170 lbs/person), full fuel (145 gallons) and
60 lbs in the
baggage compartment without exceeding gross weight limit! The Model 560
has a very broad Center of Gravity Envelope for easy loading. It
has a single point fuel filler for the 5 tanks. No tank switching
or fuel transfers required during flights. This is a great flying
airplane! It can go into 3W2
airport (Put-In-Bay) 590' altitude, 2870' (runway) with a 452' displaced
threshold and 50' trees at both ends and obstacles to the northeast with
full fuel, passengers and baggage at 80 deg oat. TRY DOING THIS IN MANY
SINGLES! You want a pilot's airplane, this is it. Stable, overcomes
a lot of buffeting for a smooth "big airplane feel".
Looks good, sounds great and has been upgraded to keep this a great
airplane. Operational experience
indicates:
·
Average cruise fuel consumption of 27 gallons per hour @ 2500 RPM
and 20 in/Hg manifold pressure, yielding approximately 145 knots True
Air Speed.
·
Average cruise fuel consumption of 35 gallons per hour @ 2800 RPM
and 21.5 in/Hg manifold pressure, yielding approximately 165 knots True
Air Speed.
