I have a 64 S35, first year with the IO520 and the first year as a six
seater so as a four seater you have a lot of cargo space. One of the
first things you notice is these things are really put together.
Cessnas and Pipers are flimsy beer cans compared to a Bonanza, of course
thats also why the empty weight is 230 pounds more.



The first time my wife rode in our, after our POS T210 (ours was a lemon),
said it was like riding in a Caddy or Mercedes after being in a Yugo.


My wife is five foot nuthin'. As soon as she sat in it and saw she
could use the spar as a footrest I got the green light.


You got a tall one. Joyce is 4'10" :-)) I have noticed the spar
cover does lose a bit of paint on that side.
