Hi Guys,

  

 Just received the latest issue of "Flight Levels"  and, as usual, the first item I looked for was the "Twin Commander History"  piece.

  

 Oh dear - more errors.

  

 Firstly, the GO-480-B engines were not 280hp, but  were rated at 270hp for 5 minutes on take-off and 260hp maximum  continuous.

  

 Secondly, it's a pity they evidently couldn't  find a photo of a Model 560 - I've got hundreds to choose from!

 The photo used is of a 560A, N2754B s/n 254,  which is carrying the titles of The Long-Bell Lumber Company, of Kansas City,  Missouri.

  

 Best Regards,

 Barry Collman

Barry, have you ever heard of a model 580 Commander? I think it was to be a  560F with bigger engines.

Hi Bill,

  

 I have a Fact File covering the "Unbuilt Model Variants  and Projects".

 I'm certain it doesn't cover every single idea that the  Factory had, but it does list a Model 580L.

 This was covered by Report No. AP10-103, "Preliminary Aerodynamic Performance", dated August 23rd  1960.

 Doesn't seem to be based on the 560F  though, as MTOW was only 5,500lb and engines were Lycoming IO-540  series.

  

 Best Regards,

 Barry
