I've been lurking for a couple of months now and have learned quite a lot about bonanzas from this forum. Now that I am a new owner, it is time for an introduction. I have been flying a Mooney 252 out of Palo Alto for the past year or so. Two years ago I decided to get back into flying again after a 15 year break so got my instrument rating as a way to get up to speed on everything that changed. Many things changed. A couple of weeks ago I flew my new to me B36TC from Pontiac MI to the west coast. Now it's based at San Carlos. It had been based out of Pontiac since it was new in 1984. I took the plane to Kalamazoo for the pre-buy, then did a BPPP checkout out of Gross Ile and then solo'ed to CA. The engine runs nicely LOP. I assumed it would not and planned to install an TAT'ed IO-550 when the current engine needs to be replaced, but since it does run LOP, I'll have to give this some more thought. I am planning to swap out the king stack and dual kln89b's with a gns480, a gmx200 and a sl30 in a week or so. Also going to put the plane on a diet. Extras like 3/8" windows add up.

We can bring the wives and kids to make it all easier. I only chose Hollister to stay out of the heat but I can deal with a little heat if need be. Mike - let's solidify it by saying Yes!

I saw that plane on controller and fell in love with the paint scheme. Congrats with the new purchase; we'd love to see pictures as you update the panel / engine.
