BBTTC - Bring Back the Twin Comanche

The video "improving the aerodynamics of a Twin Comanche" is a detailed look at an aircraft owner's efforts to enhance his Piper Twin Comanche's performance. The video, filmed at the Savannah Hilton Head International Airport, shows Simon and I discussing the modifications.

Key points from the video include:
The installation of a rudder gap seal to improve rudder authority and control
Replacement of an old incandescent light with an LED beacon light to reduce drag
The use of a 3D scanner to scan parts of the aircraft, like the cowling exhaust and antenna base, in order to design new aerodynamic fairings
Future plans to optimize cowl flaps and other areas to reduce air flow disruption
