Mike C. Never heard of it, but I just googled it and I'm pretty sure you're right. I don't know anything about it. Decent plane? Edit, Google result:

I looked into them once. Big cabin. Allegedly made with standard parts (ie not an orphan mostly) Main problem was that it was heavy and underpowered. Proposed adequately powered turbine model never materialized.

Here's a link to an old Flying magazine Commander 700 pilot report from the May 1978 issue. The article starts on page 38. https://books.google.com/books?id=iK7AG ... &q&f=falseIt's kinda fun to scroll through the old Flying mags from the 70s and 80s on that site. Lots of interesting pilot reports from the heyday of general aviation.

Username Protected wrote: A little underpowered Uh, yeah. The Flying article said: "Single-engine climb gradient at 101 kts (Vyse) ..... 2.56 ft per nm" Climb gradient measured to 1/00th a foot? That's an 1/8th of an inch! Maybe they meant 256 ft per nm, but that doesn't compute with a SE climb rate of 273 FPM at 101 knots (that's 162 ft per nm). Mike C.
