Default Beechcraft sold

Beechcraft makes great planes but the thought of them having to stand up to
what the average 150 has lived through is scary.

There's one, huh? Anything can be made to last that long. What did it
costs to keep it going all those hours? How often did it break? That's
the difference.

more poorly built than your Bonanza?

(remembering 354 Bonanzas that came apart in the sky)


The difference between Beech and Cessna/Piper is striking, once you've
owned one. Cessna and Piper do the absolute minimum to keep their
airplanes from falling apart in the air. You pay for that in the Beech
by the fact that it weighs more. But, it will cost me less to own my Bo
than my 182 for those parts that are made by the respective companies,
simply because the Bo was built right in the first place.
