Ten years ago I purchased my first Comanche 250. I fell in love with the airplane. It has a great usefull load with an almost square envelope and the ability to put 250 pounds in the baggage compartment. It climbs at about 1200 feet per minute and cruises at 160 kts on 13 gallons of fuel. I began completely restoring this airplane by stripping the paint completely. I took advantage of Pipers choice of zinc chromating which prevents corrosion from occurring on this airplane. I Custom painted the airplane, replace the interior and made a new center stack aluminum panel. I incorporated the 260 gear mod to make this a very fast Comanche 250. Since then I have rebuilt a number of Comanche 250s mainly as a hobby and as a way to make extra money. I currently have two Comanche 250s completed and am working on two others. I decided that with the high cost of a new airplane that a restored custom aircraft with the latest avionics, engine monitoring systems and updated gear mods could provide a good as new airplane for substantially less money.
