Bonanza V35B partnership opportunity

A V35B is a great airplane. I fly an A36 but have some time in a V tail. First,
before you buy into this plane, check with the insurance people to see if they
will even insure you. You have plenty of hours, but no time in type, so that
may be an issue. There may be a requirement for some formal training from a
recognized organization (Bonanza Pilot Proficiency Program, Flight Safety etc.)
before they will insure you as well as some hours in type. Check out the
American Bonanza Society (they have a good web site) for additional information
and training programs.

Pick up a copy of "Flying the Beach Bonanza" by Eckalbar. It is a great book
with all sorts of information on what it is like to fly a bonanza and how to
fly one.

Unlike the C172 you normally fly, the Bonanza is a "fly by the numbers"
airplane. Someone in one of the replies mentioned tables of MP/RPM. That is the
way you fly a bonanza. I would add flap and gear configuration to the table
also. If you get good training from someone who really knows Bonanzas, that is
how they will show you how to fly it. Again, the Bonanza Pilot Proficiency
Program can recomend an instructor in your area.

I currently co own my airplane, so feel free to e-mail me and I would be glad
to give you any information you might want on the ups and downs of partnership.

Bonanzas are fantastic airplanes, but they do demand a bit more of the pilot
than a less complex aircraft. Good luck

Alan, thank you for all of your advice. I might take you up on that email
exchange over the next few months, assuming I partner in this aircraft.
