Hey Gang!
New to the forum. Looking forward to meeting everyone. Can any Twin Comanche owners give me the dimensions for X and Y shown on the linked picture. Need to make sure the TC I'm about to do a pre-buy on is going to fit into my T-hanger. The dimensions aren't in the maintenance manaual or POH and plane's not local, else I'd obviously go out an measure it myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey David,

Welcome to the Forum and future Comanche ownership. If no one answers your question today, I'll go measure tomorrow.

btw, who is doing your pre-buy?

David,

Let me know if I can research the prospect TC for you. Did you get my Comanche Buyer's Guide?

I would not trust the specs diagram you posted. 'Commanche' was misspelled.

David,

FYI,

Make sure you know which measurements you get. There is a standard nose, a Miller Mod nose extension (rare), a Radar nose mod, and some people have installed a home-made nose cap.

Also, don't fit it in a hanger that is to tight. Hanger rash may result. Be safe. FWIW.

I hope this helps,

Jeff

David,

I'll go measure X and Y for you on a stock Twin nose and LoPresti more pointed spinners tomorrow.

FYI so far the twin has fit in every hangar we've tried at distant and un-familiar airports - however, we do use wing walkers and tail watchers to avoid hangar rash in new places.

P.S. lost this thread for awhile but found it today.

Y is 13'10"
X is 12'9" - assuming you wanted this from essentially the wing root line to the spinner. From the trailing edge of the wing it is 11'7"

Hope this helps.
