I presume this might be a Comanche 400. Anyone know anything about them?
Yup - they go like a cut cat!
How easy would it be for a new PPL to handle one? Comments?
Impossible! Right up there with the Space Shuttle.
Just kidding! If you can handle a C210, Bo, Comanch with confidence, you should be OK in the PA24/400.
Would you believe that the Townsville refueller actually owned one?
Dr 
PS: If you know one that needs to be flown - I am available. Been on my bucket list for years!
