Hi I recently purchased a Bonanza F35 on eBay for short ($49,000)
money. It has all of the mods and AD's accomplished, no prop AD, new
paint, leather interior, cruises in the yellow arc like a typical
v-tail, and 1100 hours left on the engine. My next choice was
a V-35 by D'Shannon with a 300 hp io-550 with 179 kt cruise for
$98,000, however the engine was run out. The F-35 will take me to SW
Florida for a new develpoment with one stop, average flight time is
6.5 hours. Bad call or no?

Thanks.

If you're V tail cruises in the yellow arc with the engine it came with
you have a problem with your airspeed indicator.

Are you happy with it?

Yes = Good call.

No = Possible Bad call.

Our opinion isn't as important as you getting what you need out of
your machine.

Sounds like a little bit of buyers regret, In the last month I have
delivered 8 airplanes and out of the 8, 5 were purchased on ebay 3 of them
had serious buyers regret! You will get over it. You got an exelent buy at
49k. Beechcraft made excellent airplane, I know when I get the cash I am
going to buy me a beechcraft.

Uh, well, maybe.

Depends on your what definition of "cruise" you want to use.

According to the chart at
http://www.vintagebonanza.com/Model_performance_directory.htm

The factory numbers for the F model sez that the top of the green (start
of the yellow) is 175 MPH while "Max Cruise" is 180 MPH. Now, that chart
really doesn't give the conditions you might be able to achieve this "max
cruise", but in theory it is possible.


I'm pretty sure I could get my A35 to come pretty close to its numbers in
that chart. However, I would have to flog it pretty good in order to
accomplish it. Not something I like doing with a 50+ year old airframe.

Excellent buy? My book says average retail price on the 55 F35 is $35K
and the book was printed in 95. How much would the price change in 10
years for a 50 year old airplane? <:-))

Actually, I agree, it looks pretty good to me as advertized.

There's 2 F models in Trade A Plane right now, one asking $36K, one
asking $47.5K. There's a G model with an asking price of $48.5K. I
don't know what he means by "short" money but he paid retail price.

No regrets whatsoever! She's fast, quiet, and efficient.

The trips are from 5b6 to PGD, with a stop in NC. In a company 402C it
was 6.0 hrs. non-stop with a 180 kt true, however with a single you
need to fly the "chicken" route.

Thanks for all of the links they are quite usefull.

The panel is loaded I dont feel like listing all the stuff and 0 time
engine fresh annual. He isnt cheap if it needed fixing he fixed it. It looks
good I would give the paint 8-9 and the interior a 9. Its has new glass the
thick stuff.

What's your neighbor asking for the plane?

I wanted to see what everyone thought first. I will post pictures in a week

If the price is a good one and you post pictures before you buy it, you will
never see that plane again. Make up your mind and make an offer or not, but
don't waste your time with pictures -- unless the title of your post is "MY New
Plane."

I just paid $88K for my S35 in late August. 4200 TT, 600 SMOH. IFR
panel with GPS. The only thing it doesn't have is an autopilot. The
paint is only a few years old. The only thing wrong with it right now
is the left bladder leaks when you fill it to the top so I'll fix
sometime before next summer.

Is it prudent to operate your aircraft with such a known defect?

One would guess that the rubber near the connection to the filler neck
has deteriorated to the point that it is cracked and lost its
integrity. If that is a correct diagnosis, wouldn't it be possible
for the bladder to completely separate from the filler neck in the
event of air turbulence, and spill its flammable contents into the
wing permitting it to run into the fuselage and cabin? Just a
thought.

If there is evidence of one rubber fuel bladder rotting, it may be
prudent to consider the other rubber components of the fuel system
being in a compromised condition.

I would dearly miss your wry comments if anything should cause you not
to be able to participate in this forum.

These rubber bladders in Bonanzas develop small leaks in the upper
outboard corner. If you fill it up it will leak out a gallon or so and
then stop. Since it is not summer and I never fill my tanks except for
a long cross country repairing this is not critical.

Short as in nothing to repair, owner just spent $26,000 in paint,
leather interior, and avionics, which I won't need to. Corker
airplane!
Have a great one!
