Twin Comanche vs. Mooney/other singles

The way I remember it was, that it was extensively used as a trainer and
many were lost on power cuts right after takeoff. I think VMC stayed the
same but the FAA stopped requiring low level power cuts. They also
introduced "Single engine safety speed," which the Twin Comanche was the
first to receive.


Now that I have not heard about. I do know that the Twin Comanche's
Vmc was raised from 80mph to 90mph. In the interests of safety for
mel training accidents. The laminar flow wing of the Comanche makes
it fast and efficient but less forgiving and it quits flying more
abruptly than some other wings.

I am not sure if the PA39 (the CR version) had the same VMC...
