If all goes well, I will soon be buying into a partnership in this Bonanza.
Bonanza said:1968 BE33C Aerobatic Bonanza
Used to all the time. Just simple stuff like loops, rolls, stall turns (vertical reversements I think you call them here), cubans etc.Bill Jennings said:Just curious, have you done any aerobatic maneuvers in your Bo?
FYI, if you are alone you are not required to wear a parachute. The wisdom of not wearing one is up to you. I often skip them if all I'm doing is low-intensity stuff like that.Bonanza said:Used to all the time.

I haven't recently as, since I ferried the plane over here from NZ, there is the requirement for parachutes and I haven't gotten around to getting one yet.

Henning said:Good deal.You'll really enjoy your plane. Beech planes always fly so nice, I fly them mostly with trim. If the partnership is a good one and everyone keeps up their end, it really is the best way to own a recreational airplane.
Anthony said:. The doc that did my 3rd class medical yesterday (yes I passed), flies GA. I asked him what he flies.....Bonanza. Sigh.

If you don't already have them, go buy all three of Eckalbar's books now that you're a Bo pilot:

It has gap seals and a strong engine. One of the partners says it gets, GASP!Dave Siciliano said:John:
Welcome to the Bonanza club!! I'm sure you'll enjoy this one. Let us know how it goes and if you like it. Can you give us some specs?
Best,

book numbers. We are going to run the TAS test that has been posted here, one of these days. I'll have numbers then.
Anthony said:I hope not. Actually I think it is.
AirBaker said:HRMPH.... Real Bonanzas have V-tails.
Great looking Bo! Next year sign up for the formation workshop for the B2osh run!
Anthony said:I agree. I have some V35B time. I think Len's point was that a doctor and a V-tail only support the "forked tailed doctor killer" theory. My doc has been flying a V-tail for 30 years, so I think he's probably OK. Anyway Cirrus has taken over that position.
Hey, that's "fork-tailed doctor killer" but let's not squabble over details...AirBaker said:It is amazing how many people respond as such when you say you fly a Bonanza... "Oh, the Doctor killer? I don't like those planes!" Ugh.
Dave Siciliano said:For most of the Beech line, making book numbers is fairly typical although you generally need to run LOP to get the advertized range (and LOP isn't in the book).
=======================================================
Lance, I'm sure you're referring to the Dep POH when you say the book. Fact is, it's in my training manual for the P-Baron and some of the power settings in the POH.
When the Deb POH was written, we didn't have GAMI jectors and JPIs to run LOP at high power settings, but I wonder if some of the low power setting may have been there (LOP). Pulling out the manual for D-9948 and after; if shows 9.6 gph at 6,000 feet with 19" of MP. I wonder??
