Jetprops shorter than 690's?

[Adam Frisch]

Read it in an online article. I never knew the Jetprops were shorter-bodied. I thought it was the same airframe, just newer wings. Is this true or have they gotten it wrong?

They're all basically the same length.

However, that said, the Twin Commander website's specs are a little bit confusing, and do make it appear that the 690s are about 1.5 feet longer than the Jetprops. I suspect this has to do with the "stinger" tail, which extended out from the tail a bit, but not really that far.
