I am a first time owner of a 1972 v35b bonanza, and I like it, I have been flying a piper arrow for past thirteen years and cherokee 140 for 12 years prior to the arrow. The bonanza is quite a machine.
She has a hartzel 4 blade prop and 300 hp contintel power plant, and is smooth as silk. Danny Livingston Jupiter fla

Wow, that sounds like quite the machine. I've never seen a Bo with a four blade prop.
congratulations and welcome.
You know that you will never go back now to a "lesser" plane, right?

Congratulations! I fly a '72 as well.

Want to explore the edges of the envelope (to gain more skill and knowledge of how to fly a great airplane safely)?

If so, come fly with me.

Danny, welcome and congratulations this is a great place to learn about Bonanzas from some really wise and great people.

A friendly tip ... We really like pictures here. Show us your plane and tell us more.

Here is a pic of my 74' Piper tailed Bonanza.

Again ... Welcome!

Cool picture.
I've always wondered what a paint scheme would look like with the darker color on top.
If I ever have to repaint the Bo, I think that's what I would do.
I like classic British cars from the same vintage as my Bo. Many of those were two tone with the dark on top: Jag, Bentley, Rolls, Aston Martin, etc.

Hey Luc,

Danny's V35B is a Colemill Starfire conversion. It has a 4 blade Q tip prop and a IO-550.
