Th forum is pretty happening these days - any stragglers, please come on over - the water is warm! Very Happy

And if members could dig up type specific contributions and post them on the forum, I think that would be great. So they don't get lost in time. I remember how hard it was to find info on 520's, 685's ...

So, Glenn Hancock has kindly now put the forum up at:

www.twincommandergroup.com

Please tell all your friends, Commander people etc to come on over there and register so we can get a nice and vi ...

Great Glenn!

Good initiative. And maybe even in the future we could get Twin Commander Inc to point their more or less dead forum this way, too. That way, we're all in the same place.

Going ove ...

This, I think is former N11HM, now in Russian RA registration. In any case, on Igor's website there are some fantastic photos taken of it flying a display and also in formation with a Cessna Mustang. ...

So let's do it. Set up a proper forum. Who wants to take the lead? I can do it, but perhaps it would be easier if it was the one who already owns the best suitable domain name? I did register www.twin ...

Nico - I appreciate what has been done by you on Facebook, problem is I gave up Facebook two years ago and nothing, not even Commanders will make me come back. I'm also a reader of pretty much every f ...

Registered www.twincommanders.com now.

Was looking at domains for it. Www.twincommanders.com is available, but it kind of suggest turbines are not welcome. Www.aerocommanders.com is available, and so is aerocommanderforum.com, but I'm not ...

Hi Russel.

I can be reached on 310 383-2944.

Glenn - that's good to know. Would you want to donate server space? Do you happen to know what software Beech Talk runs? I'm a member on a lot of avi ...

I'm not sure I'm doing it right. I've always logged into this forum that's hosted here at Matronics, even though I'm a TCFG member (I can't log in from the website). It's not really a forum, it's more ...

Out of curiosity - WHY doesn't SB 208A apply to the 680V, when it applies to the -W, 681 and 680FL and FLP model? What's so different about the 680V?

Moe's 680FP is now for sale on TAP. I know for a fact it's been very well maintained by Security Aviation at Hawthorne.

I've gone through my POH a million times now on the 680V Century, but can't find any published short field takeoff numbers, let alone any takeoff numbers with flaps at all. Did they never publish any ...

Seems a little steep to me considering the AFTT and the engine times. Looks like a nice plane, though. And personally, I always enjoy seeing the short snubnose original - not many of those around anym ...

N55JS had an inflight breakup after being overloaded 1000lbs in bad turbulence. Don't think the props contributed, but who knows. Is there a photo of it with the 5 blade MT's?

This is an interesting link to a company that wanted to put Walter 601 engines on the Commander, pair it with a 5-blade MT prop. Site hasn't been updated since 2000, so probly not much came of it.

Heard someone mention that there's an alternative to the slipper or Javelin tanks for the TC's. Someone was talking about an STC to increase the center tank capacity. Has anyone heard anything about s ...

What's a ballpark cost for gear overhaul on the turbine Commanders?

Try to make it now that I'm back in the fold!
