Picking up an A36 tomorow

Congrats. The A36 would definitely be my first choice for a single (and
the 58 Baron for a twin). Nothing like those big wide doors in the
back...makes it SO easy to load people and bags.

Only issue I have with these airplanes is their tendency to dutch roll
in turbulence. I would consider a yaw damper an essential upgrade. My
avionics tech owns a nicely equipped '84 and with the Y/D on after gear
retraction on takeoff it feels as stable as the 172.

Please do report back to this group (or rec.aviation.owning) on your
experiences with the airplane. I'd personally love to hear how the
pre-buy goes (went?) and what your first annual is like, as I hope to be
in your shoes in a few years.

Safe flying,

-Doug

Major change to the panel, throttle quadrant added. IO 550
engine replaced the IO 520.

Chuckle, chuckle This is one of those questions that separates the
kids from the greybeards.

Flew back from Boise today. Took a Skywest flight landed at 11:20 did all
the paperwork and was airborne before noon. Put direct IFP in the GPS and
flew too 11.5 put on the stec 60-2. Looked over at the speed and we were
doing 185 knots.
Made the trip in just under 3 hours. Got gas took care of a little business
jumped back in and landed at RAL. Took back off and did 4 landings parked it
and waited for the family. Loaded the plane up with 2 small girls my 19 year
old son is girlfriend my CFI and me. Six people and took off. It flew so
nice my cfi wanted me to see what it felt like fully loaded. Went for a 10
minute flight and made 1 of my best landings. Zero buyers remorse I love the
plane.
I will let you know how the annual goes next month.

Or, just someone that's just more familiar with Barons? Beech swapped
the throttles and prop controls on the Baron that year to the standard
T-P-M configuration. I don't have any Bonanza time so I don't know the
plane that well

From this '73 Bonanza owner I send out a big congratulations to you. Except
for the Dutch roll comment (with which I totally agree) the aircraft is a
stable IFR and excellent cross country airplane.

Have you become a member of American Bonanza Society yet? Highly recommended
resource. They are he

No. I think I will join. I have been flying the plane everday now and I like
it even more. They are such a nice stable sweet flying plane.
