hharney is on a distinguished road
Grand Champion Contemporary Class
This Comanche 400 won the Big Daddy award for my class. As you can see from the photos it is a work of art. Really nice owner and I had the pleasure to share restoration stories with him. I have not seen someone go to these lengths before. Reminds me of the roadster car shows.

Cruise speeds with this single engine IO-720 Lycoming are in the 200 kt range burning 20 gals per hour. Not bad for a single. Not many of these around but this has to be the best.
