About the AeroCommander 560

The Aero Commander series were high-wing, twin-engine utility aircraft known for their rugged construction and excellent short-field performance. The 560 variant was the original production model and gained fame when President Eisenhower flew in one, designated as the first “Air Force One” for a fixed-wing aircraft. The distinctive high-wing, twin-boom configuration makes for a visually striking model.

Construction

Traditional balsa construction. The twin-engine layout adds interest to the build without the complexity of a four-engine model. Suitable for intermediate to advanced model builders.
