Turbo Commander Progress
-
I'm glad you're excited! I think you're hardly alone in that respect when it comes to the Twin Commanders. It's been progressing in the background. I would like to publish an update about all my projects soon with the release of the Baron and Bonanza Professional, so I'm trying to figure out what milestone I can show off with the Twin Commanders.

A king air B200 with the blackhawk conversion would be amazing...

@Black-Square If you need access to aircraft or anything else I've got a fleet of 690A/B/Ds and 500S's.
@BlackFly Thanks so much for the offer!! Luckily, I already have a number of volunteers, including a two-in-one visit including another upcoming aircraft. In the off chance that you're more local, do you mind sharing what part of the world you're in? If not, then no worries!

@Black-Square I'm in Ontario. The Commanders are down for winter maintenance now so if you need any pictures of hard to see areas now would be a great time lol

@Black-Square Also forgot to mention I have manuals for just about everything, POH, checklist, QRH, maintenance manuals, different avionics options....I think i've got around 30-35 just for the 690 lol
@BlackFly Thanks for writing again. With the release of the Baron and Bonanza tomorrow, I've been a little forgetful. I should be good on documentation, but what I wanted to ask about was the Commander 685. That's been the real challenge, because there are very few of them left. I've just been asking everyone in the Commander circles to get in touch if they know anyone with access to a 685. I don't have as much documentation for the 685, but the MM, and various brochures should suffice.

@Black-Square Just picked up the Bonanza and Baron today, but also really looking forward to the 690B (And 685!). I was wondering, as I'm hoping to be able to do an Around-the-world flight in it, will it have the option for the 100 gallon Auxiliary Slipper tanks? Would be helpful for that last push from Japan to Alaska!
-
That's how I have it set up currently, with a 1,700+ nm range. I'm hoping the 685 will be more fun than people might imagine due to a number of features, including that extra range.

@Black-Square Sounds good! So both the 685 and 690B will have the option of the slipper tanks?
@St.-Agre I haven't seen any documentation in passing yet that said this was an option for the 690, but I also haven't begun my research in earnest yet. Currently, I have 322 usable for the 685, and 388 usable for the 690.

@Black-Square Oh interesting, I'll have to do some document hunting then. My interest was piqued because I saw a listing for a 690B with the tanks here: https://aircraftexchange.com/jet-aircraft-for-sale/details/2379/1978-twin-commander-690
Either way, will be fun to dive in and see what I can find. I'll let you know!
