Hmmm where to start... :scratch:

Hello Everyone,
My name is Jake Mottram I am from Orange County, CA and I fly out of Corona Municipal Airport (KAJO). I am part of the WingFleet flying club associated with Fly Corona and I fly the E33 Debonair N7011N.

I took my first demo flight at Fly Corona on April 30th 2009 and it all went downhill from there! I started my training May 1st and on June 4th, I Soloed for the first time in a Cessna 172 F. On October 17th, 2009, I passed my ASEL Private Checkride and became a pilot :dancing:

. From that date forward, I have flown 172rg's, 182's, an A36 and my favorite so far is the Debonair E33.

I look forward to talking with everyone here as I am writing my name at the bottom of the list of "Aspiring V-Tail Owners" :bow:

Jake,
Welcome to BeechTalk. There's lots going on here.

As a very happy Debonair owner myself, I don't think it's necessary to aspire toward a V-tail.... but that's just me.

well... i would agree, but my friend has a BEAUTIFUL V35 that he is now putting a 550 kit in. cruise @ 190 sounds awesome to me

Welcome Jake, I flew out of Chino's Eagles Nest l for twenty years and left in 2003. Bought most of my fuel in Corona. Any Bonanza is great but my favorite is A36 with thirty-five years in them. Don

Welcome Jake! It certainly sounds like when you put your mind to something, you make it happen FAST! You're going to love the Beech community...it's just like the aircraft...lots of variety, and all of them very well built! :rock:

My new baby...
I have been told down the grapevine that the old owner is still on beechtalk. I would love to hear some stories about Mrs. 7011N

Hi Jake,

Welcome to BeechTalk. I have found it invaluable for information about anything Beech related: engines, instruments, airframe, repairs, cleaning, ... anything!

I have to agree with Arlen. Loving my Debbie, don't really "need" a V-Tail. :tape:

I'm based at Fullerton and currently waiting on a cylinder for my recently acquired '62 Deb, and having the original AI and DG replaced while I'm at it. It should be nearly flyable when it's done

I highly recommend attending any BT fly-in you can. You'll see lots of great planes and meet lots of great people.

Hey Eric,
You made a good point... I don't "Need" a V-Tail. :bow:

At the rate I am going i would be lucky to have a :tape:

Cessna 150 :hide:

within the next 5+ years. Then again, how often do "needs" come up in aviation... its all about the "want" and the "OUCH!" from your wallet... Someday, however, I believe an A(G)36 will be in-store instead of the V just because I will need the useful load and the seats... Let me know if you ever need a co-pilot :thumbup:

considering I am just a short hop away.

Will pass on the hello for ya. he is currently out of state getting his CFI, MEI, CFII, for some odd reason... He passed his MEI on thursday and his CFI on Saturday, now he has his CFII checkride on Tuesday.
