Hello everyone.

New to the forum. Just sold my Piper Warrior and in the process of buying a 1969 Super Mouse. Have not flown it yet. I will have many questions as I am not familiar with Beech.

Thanks

Matt

Good morning Matt and welcome!
You will find lots of great resources on this board.
How far along are you in your purchasing process?
I'm sure you will have many questions regarding the all so important pre-buy inspection, training on the new plane, insurance, maintenance, operating recommendations, etc.
where in the country are you?
Welcome aboard and fasten your seatbelt; its going to get fast and furious.....

Welcome to BT Matt.
I had a 1967 A23-24 Super III for about 10 years back in the 80/90's, great Beechcraft.

Doing the prebuy this weekend. I am in Fort Myers, FL but fly out of KPGD. This looks like a real nice bird. 2200 TT and 190 on the engine. Has a garmin 430 and a newer TMK radio. Full IFR just certified.

Can't wait. I've heard that they fly a little different that the Pipers. Also they don't glide a whole lot. One thing Im curious about, are there wheel pants available for this plane ? I can't find them anywhere.

Thanks

No wheel pants to the best of my knowledge.
They are a little nose heavy when you have full fuel and no weight in the rear seats or baggage compartment and full flaps. So be sure to trim nose up when on very short final and keep that yoke back untill slowed down on the runway to avoid wheel barreling in very forward CG configurations.

Welcome aboard and that sounds like a nice Super 3. Great plane and it sounds like a good one. Have fun with it.
