Anyone else read the article in the new private pilot mag ( think it was
pvt pilot) that had the A36 Bonanza turbo prop modification.
They listed is as almost a half a million dollar modification.

Yep, that's where I got the engine for my Navion. I have IO-550-B Platinum
edition, prop, engine instruments, etc... everything that came off some guy's
Bonanza when it went in for the turbine mod. Nine hours since factor new.

Man, but that must be one sweet runnin' Navion.
You should have kept the 2-blade prop for effect though. Those
suckers were loud! :-))

We had a pain of Navions in USAF paint take off from 3BS last summer,
right out over the noise sensitive folks in their rich homes off the
south end of 18/36. They went right by the EAA chapter building and
darn near made the wrenches rattle in the tool box. :-))
