This 1969 Piper PA-30 C Twin Comanche (N320MR, S/N 30-1917) presents a well-equipped cross-country performer with only 2,856.2 total airframe hours and matching 553.7 SMOH times on both Lycoming IO-320-B1A counter-rotating engines. The aircraft features Hartzell propellers with 376.5 hours since overhaul and benefits from comprehensive Knots2U speed modifications including flap/aileron gap seals, wing root fairings, and an Arapaho dorsal fin. Its exceptional 1,158 lb useful load is complemented by an expansive 120-gallon fuel system with J.L. Osborn tip tanks, enabling extended oceanic crossings as demonstrated by its four Atlantic crossings.
The panel is fully IFR-certified with dual Garmin GNS 430/GPS and King navigation systems, coupled with a Century NSD-360A slaved HSI and Altimatic IIIB autopilot. Recent upgrades include RG400 antenna cable replacements and Whelen LED landing lights. Both interior and exterior were refreshed in 2014, featuring navy blue leather seats with full intercom capability and a custom aircraft cover. Documentation is extensive, including complete logs, AD compliance records, and original manuals. The aircraft's efficiency is further enhanced by McFarlane cowl saver baffle seals and a Shadin Digiflo fuel flow indicator.
