What is the S35 model? What years were they produced?

Thanks.


1964 and 1965 (oops pulled the trigger too quick) V-tail. I drooled over
one for a couple years before buying a Beech Travel Air D95A.

That's easy: Socata TB-20 Trinidad. See www.socata.org both for a great
user community and some offers.


Love the airplane, but hate the headroom.

Mike,

Love the airplane, but hate the headroom.


Never been an issue for me, but that obviously depends a lot on body
size and seating posture. Also, on the GT model, headroom is increased.

One obviously needs to try before investing 100k, but an airframe 25
years younger than the Bo also discussed in the thread would mean a lot
to me. Two doors and a more modern design, too.

I'm just sitting back and noting the suggestions...

I appreciate the excellent dialogue! You folks have provided a
mountain of excellent leads. Thanks!

Note a book but...

http://www.risingup.com/planespecs/


Just remember (as has been noted here on past occasions) that the data in
this webpage is often laughably inaccurate.

The page on the Pathfinder, for example, lists a "62 gallon" fuel capacity.
The correct answer is either 50 (without tip tanks; although I don't believe
any were built *without* tip tanks, but I could be wrong) or 84 gallons with
tip tanks.

When they get basic stuff like that wrong, I tend to lose faith in the rest
of the data.

You are correct. I just looked at my aircraft and it lists 42 gal. I
believe it is 39 with 1.5 unusable each wing.
