His worst decision was going to the hospital! He should have had them drive him directly to the nearest convenience store, so he could buy a lottery ticket. The son-of-a-bitch would be a multimillionaire right now!

I personally subscribe to the Time Traveler theory. People visited from the future typically arriving in modified 80's era DeLoreans. That's why next to the helmeted figures depicted on the Inca, Aztec and Egyptian structures you'll also see the inscription “Doc” - presumably referencing their...

Here's an interesting analogy. I had this posted on the old web site too. Owner Reported Performance, Cruise 112/A 4500ft, 24MP, 2500rpm. TAS 140 knots at 11.8gph, 11C. 2550lbs. 4500ft, 24MP, 2400rpm, TAS 140 knots at 11.5gph, 5C, 2340lbs 5000ft, 24MP, 2430rpm, TAS 136 knots at...

Here's the owner reported performance data from the FAQ section that I used to produce the above chart: Owner Reported Performance, Cruise o112/A 4500ft, 24MP, 2500rpm. TAS 140 knots at 11.8gph, 11C. 2550lbs. 4500ft, 24MP, 2400rpm, TAS 140 knots at 11.5gph, 5C, 2340lbs 5000ft...

Here's another one that might be good for the FAQ section:

Here's some old text and a graphic from the RCM website that some of the newer owners may not have seen. Perhaps this should be posted in the FAQ section for people trying to decide which model Commander to purchase. In considering any aircraft performance, the cost of any potential increase...

Hi Steve, All of the 112's are fuel injected, so yes the Hot Shot system works with the fuel injected 112's like yours. The only carburated Commanders are the 112TC/TCA.

Nope. Two completely different systems.

This is still available, if anyone out there wants to get the most they can get out of their 112, this is your chance:-)

Dunno, but there's no STC for the Gill either, so maybe can sign off the EarthX the same way. Go back through the logs and see how they did it:eek::-)

I've got one for you!

Hi Jay, I can have it all in your hands by the end of next week:-)

Hi Shane, The MT delivery time is around 10-12 weeks. Email me directly and I'll fill you in on the customer's details. carl@rcmnormalizing.com

True! And, the 114's already have a respectable useful load, so weight savings isn't as much of an issue. Still might be a consideration if you fly a lot with baggage, often carry a 3rd passenger, or have lightened up the nose, ie MT prop, Plane Power alternator, Skytec starter, eliminated...

I can't on the EarthX stuff. They have a very strict pricing policy. They're planning to raise the price by a couple hundred at some point (they wont say when), so in that sense it's still a great deal!

I guess you'll know for sure when you're stuck at some remote airport with no services for 50 miles in every direction and your plane won't start :-):-)! Fortunately they usually start "talking" to you before something like that happens. If your mechanic is on the ball, he'll go back through...

Any112 drivers out there that have a 3 blade Hartzell they want to trade in? I have an overseas customer that wants one. They fly in and out of a lot of undeveloped airstrips, so I think the Hartzell would be a better choice for them.

There are actually quite a few of them out there flying now, but most Commander owners don't post, so you just don't hear about them. Batteries are kinda a funny thing, believe it or not, people get very attached to their batteries, and become very possessive of them - like an old pair of...
