Enjoying the V35B

[PeterNSteinmetz]

I was out finishing up my solo training time in the new to me V35B I bought part of. I must say that is such a pleasant plane to fly. Good speed for a single and nicely balanced controls.

Note I am not claiming it is the best aerodynamically designed single ever like some people do (or maybe I am a little ).

 

[Jumpmaster]

That is a pretty plane!

 

[Radar Contact]

Looks just like the one that cut in front of me on the arrival into OSH. Then slowed to the low pattern speed refusing to vacate the high pattern.

congrats on the new bird!!

Yup….all girls are nice. I like mine.

Better watch out. They don't call those fork-tailed doctor killers for nuttin'.

Don’t worry. Peter actually flies his planes.

Beautiful airplane, although I’ve owned Cessnas all my life, I think the V-tail is probably the best looking modern airplane out there.

Huh?

The Beechcraft Bonanza is an American general aviation aircraft introduced in 1947 by Beech Aircraft Corporation of Wichita, Kansas.

 

[Stan Cooper]

Great looking Bo, Peter! Enjoy.

I was trying to exclude the classics like the Staggerwing!

Should be safe. Peter is a doctor but I don’t believe he has a forked tail, though I could be mistaken....

It is a great airplane for traveling!

Our club has one (N149G) and many members have used it for long distance trips, including the Bahamas.

Yiu will definitely enjoy it!

Sigh...that makes two this year. All my fly-in buddies are getting planes even more faster than mine.

c'mon, people....go out and buy grumman tavelers so tim has a faster plane than someone!

Beautiful plane. I’ve always wanted one ever since I flew in one over 10 years ago. Not the best fit for my mission or budget but a guy can dream. My favorite looking GA single right behind the Staggerwing I think.

Gorgeous Bo! Do you have an AirSkeg? Couldn’t tell from the picture

How many solo hours do you need before you can start flying passengers, or patients, or whatever

Pretty plane Welcome to the V35 club.

 

[PeterNSteinmetz]

No doesn't have one of those.

The insurance required 5 hours solo. Of course, legally one can do so after obtaining the high-performance endorsement.

What a sweet ride. You’re going to love it. Just keep it within the envelope - Bonanzas are slick, and they speed up quickly when going down hill.

If your approach speed is under control, you will find that it’s almost impossible to do a bad landing. I always look forward to the landing, even when I want to keep on flying.

Depends on how you define a "bad landing". A V-tail owner gave me a ride once. Took off well to the right of the centerline. Coming home sure enough, he landed well to the right of the centerline. The whole time from short final to clearing the runway I was praying that the tire on that side doesn't blow.

 

[Rgbeard]

I believe the definition of “bad landing” has been found in this case. I’m sorry I didn’t put 2+2 together right away.

I have enjoyed it so far, but you are correct about the speed. When coming into the pattern, you have to start slowing it down early enough.

I don't know that that is a Bonanza thing -- do you think it is? There are a lot of pilots, especially student pilots, that are consistently off to one side or the other.

That’s true of any high performance / complex aircraft 200hp+.

He was just trying to make room for oncoming traffic.

Perhaps, but how do you explain the student pilots that are always to the left? Perhaps they are used to driving in England?

It's historic that students tend to be more left-wing. ;-)

Nah. I'm just pointing out that if you make something impossible to be bad, nature finds a way.

damn... didn’t make the connection, but it is the same plane.
