[quote][/quote]Hi, fellow Beech-nuts! After hanging around the beach and testing the BT water a few times, I've finally dived in! Yesterday I bought a 1966 V35. Straight, NDH, corrosion free airframe, with a run out engine. Today the engine is out and tomorrow it starts an overhaul by Central Cylinder, Omaha. The "while we're in there"s have already struck; I've ordered BDS baffles and BAS inertial harnesses based largely on the collective wisdom of fellow Beechtalkers. Any advice on a 406Mhz ELT?



As a member of the Offutt Aero Club, I've been flying a Citabria, C182, and a BE55 Baron (T-42A). Now that I have a V35, I think I'll drop the C182! Besides, I get plenty of 182/G1000 time as a CAP pilot.

Thanks, Guys. More pictures are forthcoming; the current ones of the stripped interior and ratty baffles in the empty nose will just bring you down! Not too many surprises
yet - a sheared shaft on the G & C stby alt, an ELT I plan to replace with a 406 unit and a rod end for the left ruddervator. Hope the engine overhaul has no big surprises.

Jim

Welcome Jim. What engine are you overhauling? Tell us more about the shop doing the work. Does your flying club use them?
