Would anyone here happen to know anything about a Aero Commander that was abandoned at the Falcon Field Airport

Mesa, Arizona before being parted out?

  

 I understand that before someone took it apart, a group of unknowns tied a rope to her and tried to make a glider out of the fuselage after the engines were taken out. Apparently it didn't go very well because it crashed into another aircraft on the field.

  

 I was just wondering if anyone knew which aircraft it was.

  

 Thanks,

  

 Bert

Bert: I salvaged N265X, a 680 that had been at Chander Field. Someone had taken a piece of hawser and tied it around the vertical fin and rudder and drug it around a bit. There was some wing tip and leading edge damage from hitting the tail of one of the Harpoons tied down close by. I had planned to rebuild her, but found so much corrosion and skin damage in the belly, that it wasn’t practical to even attempt it. We cut the fuselage right behind the contol columns, just in front of the wing and just aft of the wing. I brought home basically everything forward of the columns, the entire wing assembly and all of the control surfaces. I would like to sell the entire lot of parts as it looks like I will loosing my job and all probablity of owning a flyable Commander.  I don’t have any pictures available right now, but can get some for anyone that is interested.

Tylor: Unfortunately the engines, props and all the radios and instruments were long gone before I bought her. I do have some GSO-480 parts that go with the stack...a supposed good case, oil sump, accessory case and a bunch of internal parts. 

 

 Someone offline asked me about the areas to be reskinned...basically everything from the nose gear doors to the taillight, from floor to floor and three of the tailcone skins...I could have done it, but would have put several thousand manhours into doing and it just wasn’t worth it.

I have a great 680 but may be interested in some parts and maybe all of  what you have. How much for all of the 680? Gil

I have a 0 time prop for a 680/680E plus complete hub assy, everything except blades as spares. Changed my 680E to Queen Air props. So anyone out there with the originals fitted can have them for a small fee.  

Cheers
