That's probably a good thing. The Twin Comanche got a bad rep because
of the accident statistics it accumulated as a twin trainer (back in
the day of low-altitude Vmc demonstrations).

Besides, even though it's clearly an entry-level twin, and very
reasonably priced in today's new plane market, it's still far more
expensive than typical trainer fodder like 1960s-era Apaches.
