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.

Cylinders
I told you that we needed to shine up your engine. Imagine what it would have looked like with Chrome valve covers, shiny intakes. Put those chrome exhaust extensions on, like you can find at Pep Boys.
Chroming up the landing gear legs would make it a grand champion. It might be a bit tricky to get the nose gear chromed up, and you need to get chrome hub caps too. Oh, and what about the inside of the gear doors?? Especially the nose gear. I can see what we are doing this winter. Yup. MR CHROME, here we come.
