I dunno - the Bonanza is a tough plane. I used to regularly fly an S-35 in and out of an "airfield" that was essentially graded cow pasture. Plenty of prop clearance and landing gear that's happy with rough fields. Is it safe to assume that the S-35 wasn't regularly flown by a bevy of low/dang near no time students? |

The [Cirrus] side stick is in your left (dominant) hand. For the very short
periods of time you need to write something down, then it should stay put if properly trimmed without needing an autopilot. I flew a cirrus once (about an hour's worth) and found that the pitch trim was very sensitive. It's also all-electric, so you can't tweak it by hand. So, if the air is a little bumpy, it may need more attention than usual to keep altitude manually. Jose -- He who laughs, lasts. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

The WSJ had a little more information on Onyx. They are purchasing aviation assests where they can find them. They purchased a former Boeing division and are not contracting with Boeing to produce fuselages. Which Boeing unit? |
