Hello all,
I am considering buying a 1953 D35 v-tail bonanza. It has an E-185-11 with the electric prop. I have own a 1967 Cessna 172 for the last 6 years, and I am looking to set up to a bonanza. So, basically I know very little about the bonanza aircraft, and I was hoping for some guidance as to where to start my education. I do know about the tbo on the prop, and parts are difficult to find. However, I am looking to know what I don’t know. Examples of what to look for ie wing spares, flaps, tail strengthening etc. is there a book I need to read etc. Thank you for your time.

Ed

Hi Ed, welcome to BT.
I don't know about books, but there is a lot of information on tap if you play around with the search feature. Other places of interest....

American Bonanza Society
https://www.bonanza.org/
And this place,
http://www.csobeech.com/

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the welcome! I am definitely digging around. Who would you recommend for a pre buy inspection near Florida?

I wouldn't know. But here is what comes up with my first search request....

search.php?keywords=prebuy+in+Florida&terms=all&author=&sc=1&sf=all&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&st=0&ch=300&t=0&submit=Search

Or you could post the question in the singles forum with more specifics.

Welcome to BT!

For books, Lew Gage produced on that is sold at ABS and all revenue goes to the organization.

A plethora of information on the E-series Bonanzas and engines.

If you share your location, you may even find a few folks that would share their experiences over coffee, rum, dinner, etc and probably offer some air time.

Good luck on your search/purchase.

Thanks for the information all. I am based at KMOR in Morriston, TN. I would definitely like to take a ride if anyone is close.

That is a great arrival. I feel much the same way. I ordered the books last night. Funny how pilots think alike. Again, thinks for the information. I am headed down to Florida the 23rd. I might even bring home a new bird.
