PA24 400

Have a few hours on the poor mans mustang. I must admit that I am biased toward ANY Comanche however the IO720 engines are thirsty and unreliable. Have been advised engine parts pretty scarce and expensive now. Fuel against speed they are pretty uneconomical. They can be a brute but ya gotta love the 400's!! They used to have a chapter dedicated to the 400's years ago in the ICS (Int'l Comanche Society).

Roy Sneesby is the Comanche king at Murwillumbah and he can set you straight on them if you wish to call him. I can DM his contact details if you cant find them or look up Tweed Aircraft Services and talk to Mal Bryant.

Good Luck
