1949 A35 - A BONANZA GUYS!! 10GPH gets me 140KTS (max) I don't lose a lot flying at 9.5 GPH. 7.5GPH is my "squirrel!" speed and one reason I bought the old bird. I'll setup for about 120MPH which seems to be 7.5GPH or so. Great stable platform for pics, looking down or just farting around...

That mountain flying idea is a pretty good one. Something I've been wanting to do...

Like sitting on a couch watching a show about airplanes .... (I have not ridden in a C but a friends '70s model feels pretty roomy to me. But you do sit different.)

Oh chute- you hadda go there.

Forget about VG's - what is more likely to add 10KTS TAS? - NUVITE S - Mothers ?? (Everyone knows a polished bird flies faster than a painted one any day of the week ;) )

Tad bit "fuzzy" out there. (yep, hot, humid, sticky and hazy)

So do you need VGs if you put floats on a bonanza? ;)

Just got in a new headset: Zulu 3's. Time to burn some MOGAS!

Interesting point.. Skilled labor costs more. Add on a specialty within that skilled labor and you can see a 10X jump in costs (salary increase). Add in if that labor does not have a secondary tangible (e.g. new pilots are relatively cheap as flying is fun - and some will nearly fly for food.)...

Just reflecting the last few posts suggesting the mooney tail might not have been performance oriented. Got me one way or another. There is documentation on the design choice for the V tail.

Well, not so fast. Looks like someone in Brazil modified a 36 to have a V -Tail. More pics in Facebook if interested. Doesn't look like a photoshop job- just someone even crazier than us.

The V-Tail on the other had WAS a design choice. Moving from hundreds of HP in a round engine to 165HP in a flat 6, everything that Beech knew was thrown at the new model 35. Anything hanging out in the wind was chopped. I have a sheet around here that shows how many MPH they estimated was saved...

D.A. Arkie can bring "oops we forgot" goodies up from "the big city" the day of.

It will save LOTS of money.

Hmm - or this... (Looks to be shiny too!!!)

Dang ... I thought it was a Deboony or a Mooniare... Interesting ...

Shish- at that price, I'm trying to figure out how I could hide it from my wife!

It's an early model - no cuffs required ....

or just vomit "up"...

Definitely +1 on "the book" if buying a 1956 (G35) Bonanza or earlier. I like them, but it took a while to understand what I had. And I continue to network with others that can help with the "special" items associated with owning something like that. If you want cheap, relatively fast and...
