My buddy has one. He has had major engine/turbocharger expenses.
He wishes he had a "simple" 182, which is nowhere near as sexy, but is way easier on the pocketbook and lands damn near anywhere...

Their marketing hype makes it seem that the Commanders have a much better safety record than their competition. Anyone have any input on that? How about maintenance history or operating costs? I figure to allow $125 an hour for direct costs; is that reasonable for this breed? Thanks, Tom

He wishes he had a "simple" 182, which is nowhere near as sexy, but is way easier on the pocketbook Should be, being AT LEAST ten years older (I'm looking at a 1994 model). and lands damn near anywhere... My impression is the gear on a Commander is indestrucible, particularly with the trailing link. MikeM
