Again, congratulations. Sounds like a beauty. Perhaps we will run across each other at some future ABS event. Possibly, although you'll be more likely to find me on a backwoods strip somewhere trying to find out where the trout are hiding. I have heard stories of Bo pilots being, ah, a little stuffy. If I run in to that you'd never see me at a Bo event again. I don't suffer morons. We have been trying to get more of them to join our formation flights, but have very few takers. I must admit, however, that the later models handle like trucks! Somewhere along the line, Beech decided that Bonanzas were too light on the controls and stiffened them up. Also, the vernier throttle and its positioning make it hard to fly formation. With a 59 Deb (Sept 11) I find the controls just right. The throttle is just in the right place and it is very easy to fly. OTOH I don't fly formation with any one I don't know. Of course I won't fly formation with a lot of the ones I do either :-)) Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com |

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. Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com |

I would hope Cessna's charging 100 times the market rate for similar items is a result of an attempt to included the cost of liability exposure in the price, and not monopolistic profiteering. I've always wanted a Bo but am getting concerned now about structural issues I too am considering a Bonanza. It's cost of operation per-seat-mile seems superior to anything else in its class, but a 40-50 year old aircraft does make one think about its structural integrity. - an AD for tail strengthening on older models, That Airworthiness Directive was a result of a number of in-flight failures attributed to flutter wasn't it? It was a necessary design change to deal with an unanticipated problem inherent in the original design, IIRC. and more recently an issue about cracks in the wing spar web. That is probably the biggest concern, but there are methods of detecting problems there aren't there? Isn't there a retrofit kit available also? It's a visual inspection and can be fixed by stop drilling and doublers. The current question is whether that is good enough or not. It's thought the cracks come from taxiing on rough surfaces rather than in flight, but who knows.

Right now I can comfortably fly final at 75 MPH although the book speed for my weight is 68 MPH so I have some more practice to do. That sounds a bit low although some of the older and lighter V-tails would be down in that range. That's the book speed. With my 182 I could fly below the book speed because I had VG's. I have a Deb that was built in 59 (Sept 11th no less). Final is 80 MPH minus one MPH for each 100# under gross. That brings book speed for me alone to between 76 and 78 depending on fuel. Book also says 1 MPH per 100# below gross. At 2400 book says my stall is 53 MPH. On mine Vso at just over 2400 is 55 MPH, but with me alone and 11 gallons of unusable fuel, I'd have to take off with only 10 gallons available. :-)) That would mean summer clothes and leaving the planes documents in the car too. Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com I have 1000# useful load. 70 gallons of fuel drops that to 430. Add my 170 and it's down to 250 under gross or 78 MPH. 3 hours of flying @ 14 GPH drops that by another 250# for 500# under gross or 75 MPH. My useful is right at 1300 pounds. What model did you purchase again? S35. |

If you're just reading news sorted by date, I can see how you can be confused. Many newsreaders don't show already-read posts. Mine does but they are marked as already read, so I don't look at them again. If the post you replied is already read when I read yours, what you're replying to is not fresh in my mind and I'm not about to go back and look at that just so I can figure out wtf you are saying. Leaving some context in is simple netiquitte. |
