Hi guys

I'm still searching for a twin comanche, there is quite a lot available
here in Florida for around 70-80k, it looks
to me that most do not have an autopilot, would this be a concern of yours?
What about installing an autopilot, is
that way to expensive, or should I go up in price a bit?

Personally, I would be very careful about buying a plane and
installing an autopilot right away. Buy the plane with the equipment
you want if you can because it costs about twice as much to install it
yourself. Also, once you buy the plane, I would avoid any "extras" in
the first year because really, really expensive stuff tends to come up
that will prevent you from flying. After the first year, if the wings
haven't fallen off and you still have any money in your checking
account, consider the upgrades.
