Hello to all. I am just entering the market to buy my very own airplane (a childhood dream I can't believe that may actually come true). Up to a couple of days ago I was thinking a Mooney M20C, until I stumbled across a Bonanza V35. Love the look. I am now researching and preparing budgets with the hope that this beautiful fork tailed "doctor killer" is the plane for me. Of course I am going through information overload, but still need and want it all. If anybody has tips/advice/suggestions/gentle nudges/rude pushes, please give it up, especially for Louisville, KY area. I thank you all now for all the posts I already see, and for the posts I know are coming.

While there is much you can research here on the venerable V-tail (models “straight” through V35B), one thing to remember no two airframes share the same empty weight and moment arm. Some have great useful loads +1,250lb. Others empty arms near 78”, which make the loading easier (friendlier). Some have both. After you have done all your calculating and drooling, be patient. The right airframe at the right price is out there.

I too looked at the Mooney. It wasn’t for me. Super efficient (although the Bo is close at same speed), but I felt too cramped (yes it’s about the same size but the windows aren’t) and the Bos cabin incrementally taller.

Best of luck. BT is THE resource.

-Former, reluctant ex-V-tail owner, if my darn kiddos handy grown!
