ICS emails indicate that Matt Kurke is recovering from surgery after a heart attack.

He is the man behind Comanche Gear, and probably one of those most responsible for keeping the Comanche fleet airborne by assisting with nearly impossible to source parts such as gear motors and transmissions, wiring harnesses, all kinds of hardware, overhauls of all kinds of parts, etc.

Hope for a speedy recovery, the community needs you!

A good man, Matt. I've bought stuff from him and there was quality in every detail.
Always ready to lend a hand with info, and the man knows his stuff.

Best wishes for a quick recovery.

Matt is a good guy- he helped me a ton with my Comanche. He has, or had a nice 400.

Sad day indeed. It was reported on the Airworthy Comanche forum that we lost Matt today. A titan in the Comanche community. He will be missed by many.

RIP.

It's sad to see gurus like this go. There are a few for every type and what information he had put up on his website was very helpful to keep Comanches flying. Hopefully the information can be saved and available in the future.

As the airplanes age and manufacturers lose any employees with knowledge of their old products it's harder and harder to find good information beyond the old printed manuals.

Sad day indeed. He developed numerous improvements for the Comanche.
