U guys should check your facts. Comanches were one of the best GA planes around. A 400 Comanche will outrun and out climb a bonanza. The reason they stopped manufacturing them was the piper plant Was completely flooded and destroyed.
Not too new... Comanche's havent been made in years. Most of the big Lycoming and Continental engines have electric fuel boost pumps, and that's what you hear running just before the starter is engaged.
@superjet110 yup. ^^^this. there are people that know, and people that don't know.

IO-720 baby!
Just learned about the 400 today. Incredible sound. I'd like to see one up close.
You must have a replaced or updated starter. Any ideas on which model you have?
Your starter sounds completely different than the original.
It's too bad these planes were too slow for their horsepower. I'd like to see one of those engines in a Lancair IV!!

Nothing like an EIGHT cylinder airplane! Quite the scene when the cowling is lifted!
