Hi all,
I'm an instrument rated private pilot. I'm working on the commercial to eventually get the CFI/CFII. I'm presently flying a Grumman Tiger in a flying club. A friend of mine is nearly to his private checkride and we're thinking it'd be nice to have a plane between us. We're based out of Lancaster, PA (KLNS).
I'm a fairly large guy (6'5" and 250 lbs). My partner is the opposite. I hoping a Bonanza can be comfortable for both of us. We're also looking at RVs as I used to have one.
Anyway, it seems like this is a neat forum. Thanks in advance for answering my silly questions.
KF

Welcome, Kevin! Why not click on the "Mentor" button at the top of this screen ( mentor.php) - find people with different Bo models to see how they feel to you. My CFI is tall and skinny and loves flying in my A36. I'm shorter, but wider, and prefer this to any Cessna I've flown in, other than my friend's Mustang. Doc

Kevin welcome to BT. Yes, definitely make sure you are comfortable in whatever plane you buy!

Thanks all for the replies. I've reached out to a local mentor with a V35B. Hopefully he won't mind if I try it on for size.
