Oh yes Doc, the Comanche did sit nose high, which produced unfavourable landing characteristics (controlled crashes) so some smart guy bought out the small nose wheel tyre STC which helps. I have always said that anyone who bitches about Comanche landings......simply can't fly 'em properly.

Not being bias but the Comanche was one of the greatest aircraft ever produced. My old girl was the last twin co to leave the factory, fitted with a Robertson STOL.....full fuel, 4 bums, full luggage, approach stall slower than a 172 and take off/ land in the same distance.
