Hi Y'all! Well the day has finally arrived, I took delivery of my K35 Bonanza, I am a new Private pilot, with mostly C172 time, However my brother has over 11,000 hours in various aircraft and was instrumental in me getting my PPL after many years of procrastinating. So I took the plunge got the Private and was hooked, line and sinker, So after many, many, hours looking, research and recommendations I bought the K35, I am now getting things together for my complex and high performance first then Get familiar with the aircraft and move onto Instrument in the future.
Nice to be here
Tim

Tim Tim, Welcome to BT. Unsolicited advice: get a few hours in the new plane, get your complex / hi perf endorsement, and then get right into the instrument stuff. You'll learn more about your plane faster than any other way... and your plane will be a safer one. Don't procrastinate.

...and great advice it is. With such a capable airplane you'll find yourself needlessly grounded more times than not with the most benign scud layer.

Hi Tim, and welcome. I am just down the road in Victoria (KVCT). I know about the pride you are experiencing in aquiring your license and your new plane. about 7 yrs. ago I bought a "Cezzna" 150 with the idea of reselling at a profit. Well, I had always wondered if I might like to fly so I took the oportunity to take a lesson and what do you know I was hooked (at age 67). A few lessons later I traded the 150 for a Piper Warrior. After getting my private I could see the Warrior didn't have the speed or range I really wanted so....I bought my first Bonanza, an F33A. It took six months to get my private and one year later I was instrument rated, another year later I had my commercial ticket. My feeling was that since I was getting started so late in the game and since I was going to be hauling precious cargo, my family, I should get all the training available. I now have an A36 mainly for ease of loading. I have logged about 1000 hrs and have really enjoyed this change in my life. I applaud you for buying your Bonanza as your first plane.
