*biased* At the end of the day, you're going to just love flying the Bonanza. A late 60s or early 70s model will give you one hell of a payload. Send it off to Tornado Alley and you can bump that up 400#. The problem with the A36 is it doesn't have a V-tail.

Hah.. no. ;)

You may have met one of them and didn't know it when you were up at MCC

You could always remove a tie-down ring under your wing, counter sink a few screw holes in the mount and put it there. Should be fine up to ~160 knots or so. ;)

Almost seems like an accelerated stall. You'd think this guy was about to run into the side of the cliff the way he reacted. I'm not overly aggressive with my 35, but I have no fear of wings falling off or bending anything.

The data is up on the CDF - CalFire website. You have to dig a bit but it is there. Relatively high requirements. Most were looking for previous low-level military experience or similiar. I even recall 'Fish Dropping' being one of the acceptable pre-reqs. Patty Wagstaff was flying for CalFire...

You can fly it without ever touching the yoke, but wouldn't instruct a newbie without duals. And yes it should fit the Bo no problems. Chris @ Cygnet makes top quality products.
