Comments

The Twin Comanche was developed from the single engine Comanche by Ed Swearingen who at the time operated a facility that specialized in the modification of production aircraft. The first Twin Comanche PA-30 was delivered in 1963 and over 2,000 were manufacturer through 1972. The big draw of all the Twin Comanches was the airplane’s ability to extract maximum speed from minimum horsepower and fuel consumption. The PA-30’s 160-hp, Lycoming IO-320-BlA engines produced cruise speeds of 165-170 knots while burning only 15.5-17 gph total (approximately 8 gallons each engine). The engines have TBOs of 2,000 hours and are highly regarded for their simplicity and durability. Twin-engine rate of climb is listed as 1,460 fpm and single-engine rate of climb is 260 fpm. Twin Comanches provide twin engine redundancy, speed, and payload at near a single engine entry price and operating cost. This Twin Comanche has been owned by the present owner since 1995 and it has been hangared almost all of that time. The current owner is a CFII/MEI and, if requested, can provide transition training for the buyer. |
