Just buy the Bonanza now, as kgruber said above. Why go thru buying and selling a plane with all the cost that entails, taxes, prebuys, etc. If that’s your dream plane why settle for less? For a 100k you can get a pretty nice one. Or spend a little less and put some back for maintenance...

Im also a VFR pilot, also south Florida. While I also take several cross country trips up north in the summer, I don’t think I would stay proficient enough to be comfortable. Sure it would be nice to be able to go thru a cloud layer and get on top, but I’m also retired and can just wait out...

I thought Bonanza was always the correct answer. Then PC-12

I have a early 33, a Debonair with the 225hp engine. I have no problem carrying 4, I can put 400 lbs in the back seat and 400lbs in the front, as long as I keep my fuel to 44 gal. No baggage though. Of coarse with lighter people I can move things around. My empty CG is 78.8.

I’m interested, but know nothing about it.

I own a Beech Debonair, I bought it just before I took my checkride. I bought a older plane with older avionics, but it looks good and flys great. I’ve gone on many long cross country’s using my iPad for navigation. I also have a garmin 660 now for backup, and I can always tune in the vor if...

Also none of us know how long we will be able. So don’t wait too long.

I Got my PPL at age 55. I retired a few years earlier. It was also something that I had always wanted to do. I was at a car show at the local airport and mentioned it to the wife. I never did it while I was working, either due to time or money. She asked what was stopping me now. I started...

I had watched that video prior to my inadvertently flying into the clouds. I was flying over the swamps north of Tampa and near the gulf at night. It was difficult flying even before I entered the clouds as there were few lights on the ground, no stars. I was at 5500 ft and at first didn’t do...

Very nice

How many planes are out there with the optimal 2 year SMOH, 200 hr engine. And also had the new wiz bang glass panel installed, which of coarse you expect a 50% discount for. I didn’t see any when I was looking. Most seem to sell when they realize they just aren’t flying enough anymore, or...

There is a guy with a bonanza for sale a few hangars down from me. He’s getting up there in years and just has a really hard time getting into the plane these days do to his health. He was preparing to sell the plane when he had a spark plug grenade on him and he sent it off for a IRAN...

For sale, cheap.

I looked it up, AT-5A. I replaced it in 2016. I gained 3.4lbs useful.

It looked something like that, but I was thinking AT-5. Next time I’m at the hangar I’ll take a look. I never tossed it out. There was definatly a sticker on it that said it was seviced in 71, I remember that much.

I had a early narco, not sure of the age, but it was serviced in 71. It was about the size as the one above and then had a normal looking control head. I gained several #s of useful load when it crapped out and I had a garmin 327 installed. The guys at Sarasota Avionics had never seen one...

I did have a supposedly engine guy inspect the plane, and also had another shop do a annual for the pre buy. But the engine guy did not pull a cylinder, and I was paying for that. The seller paid for the annual and all airworthy discrepancies.

My plane was overhauled in 2000 so its 18 yrs since overhaul. It currently has 600 SMOH. I bought the plane 6 years ago when it had 50 hrs SMOH. Hey, I was a student pilot at the time and really didn’t know much. I knew it wasn’t good, and I discounted the plane for it, but not enough if...

I looked at 48x and it’s doable also. I haven’t been to a grass strip in years, I don’t have a problem with that as long as it’s in good shape.

I’m busy for the next few weeks, but I’ve been to SPG for lunch a few times and we could meet there or somewhere else. I don’t need much of an excuse to go flying.
