Congrats, you'll love it. Had PA 30 for 25 hrs and regretted I sold it. Have now had my J model 10 yrs and would never go back. Find a good mechanic that knows the plane(not shop) and treat him well. I've found quite a few mechanics that love the plane as much as I do and love working on them. Bill

Thank you guys!! I can't tell you how super excited I am. Here is the panel as it is. I'm looking at adding the EDM 930 or EDM 900 depending on space. In the pre-buy today it was recommended that I replace the hoses soon so I told the shop to go ahead. They are doing it next week.

Andy, does your plane have shoulder harnesses for the front seats?

Good morning Andy. Congratulations on the new airplane! Welcome to BeechTalk and ownership of a classic Beech.

Shoulder harnesses are surprisingly easy to fit to the front seats of any Bonanza. It takes a day or two and around $2-3,000. The good news is there are are a few different choices on the market. All of them good choices; your choice will depend on your personal preferences in the details.

The fuselage structure in your airplane is the same as thousands of other airplanes built by Beechcraft from 1947 until today, which means there are no secrets or surprises to the installation. The kits vary from $1,000-1,500, plus 5-10 hours of shop labor. The FAA paperwork is straightforward, it comes with the kit, and it's no trouble for any shop to take care of. (I say this in the sense that I don't know if this is your first airplane or your tenth.)

If you're good at following instructions to the letter, you're mechanically inclined, and your shop is inclined to let you do it under their supervision, then this job is well within your reach for what the FAA calls owner-assisted maintenance (it really means supervised by an A&P).


Here is some "light reading" on shoulder harnesses and Beechcraft. This should save you the trouble of searching:

Jump into any of those threads with your shoulder harness questions. You'll get a lot of really good answers and some great BeechTalk fellowship.

I put BAS belts in my own airplane a couple years ago. Pictures: http://www.beechtalk.com/forums/viewtop ... 7#p1585857 Don't do what I did and fly around for four months with lap belts only.

Thanks for the info guys! I think i'll go with the BAS. I just talked to my A&P about it and he too highly recommended it!! I'll get that started!

Also, can you guys point me in the right direction for real world numbers on a J35 with the 520B installed? I have a POH but it is referring to a 470 not the 520. I'm sure there are tons of places i'm just not looking...

Hello Andy...
If you read any of the Bonanza research books, the J model was the hotrod of the fleet until the S model beat its top speed by about 3 mph. The service ceiling was over 20,000 at full gross when others topped out at 18,000. I don't know if the engineers cooked the books to get these figures, but prior and successive models did not have the numbers. I recall a top speed figure of 207 mph. The IO470-C, first of the fuel injected Continentals, gave it all of this performance. Upgrading to the IO470-N is an easy +10 HP, with very little paperwork.Upgrading to the IO520 would need an STC, and Hammock Aviation and D'Shannon each have one.+ 35 HP would make you at the top of the yellow, and give you even better numbers. Fuel management is best done with a timer mounted on your panel
or control arm.(and do pay attention to it.) When you know exact time to exhaustion of the aux tanks, subtract a minute or 90 seconds, and use that as a time to change tanks. Always first half hour on the left main, then to the aux's, then empty the right main, and back to a refilled left main. Aux tanks drain back to the left main, and if you do not fly enough initial time on it when you depart, you WILL dump fuel overboard through the fuel vent. J models, some with all the appearance mods of V35s, are real sleepers, and will walk away from other Bonanzas, especially the 36s. For various reasons, my IO470-C
did not like running LOP more than about 40 degrees, when equipped with GAMIjectors.

I was never able to solve the why on this issue, but 10.8 gph at WOT 11,500 altitude, and 2300, gave me about 1000 mile range discounting winds.

Larry,
Thank you for al the great info!! I've been combing through all the paper work on the plane and trying to organize it somewhat. Found the STC's for the 520-B swap and other things that was done.
All the info in the POH points to the original 470 numbers and I would think there would be some changes with the 520 swap. I did find a W&B done about 4 years after the swap... I also found one sentence that said "The following limitations are to be observed with the ... IO-520-B... Takeoff and maximum continuous operation (sea level) 2700 RPM 26.0" Man. Press. 250hp, 2700 RPM 25.2" Man. Press. at 3800 ft. straight line variation between points given."

That was all.... oh, it did also say "performance will be equal to or greater than that given in the original airplane"
