I'm guessing that if a fellow's girl friend had difficulty getting 'in and out" of a Debby, he might be in the hunt for a more agile girl friend. :thumbup:

I have to fly my 210 out of my ranch strip to the nearest airport to pick up my buddy that flies there in his B36TC since it can't get out of my ranch strip.

It's just a widely known fact that women much prefer a 210 over a Bonanza....when a 182 isn't available. :D :eek:

That's not true for my wife. but then, she's very selective and has great taste. She won't settle for something pedestrian when she can have a Bonanza (and me) :dancing:

I can see why people like 210s and I think R182s are fantastic airplanes, but for me, my wife a large dog an not much more, I'll take the A36 over the 210 without even thinking. It's better looking, stronger, more fun to fly, and gives my passengers a sense of solid safety that the Cessnas have never really pulled off. I actually have about 3 times as much time in many types of Cessnas vs my time in Beechcraft. In my experience both passengers and other pilots make positive comments about the A36 much more than they do about the Cessnas. On the other hand, if I had to get my useful load up to 1500 pounds, then I guess a 210 would be an awesome choice. I don't have to do that - so - I don't have to do that. :peace:

Everybody is. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be on BeechTalk trying to justify their Cessnas.

Nah, I tried to like the Bonanza, but I could not stand the sloppy control feel, and the believed superiority of many Beech pilots. The superiority was caused by the great landings they could all do, which really was a function of the sloppy, forgiven and imprecise handling of the plane combined with a forgiving landing gear.

Put most Beech pilots in a Mooney and watch them get humbled as they learn what a real plane is.

Tim (go for it, I am ready!)

Actually, fly in a Mooney, Cirrus, Aerostar, PA-46. All of them have much more "twitchy" controls and are not as forgiving of being imprecise on the controls. Can you fly a Bonanza, Baron... precisely yes. But aerodynamically they accept being "sloppy" on the controls without much if any penalty to the pilot.

What Beech managed to do, and is really an impressive feat of engineering, is have a very forgiving aerodynamics without significant drag penalty. Generally, the more forgiving the aerodynamics the higher the drag.
Overall, probably one of the best compromises made in light GA.

rofl. I think on BT, everyone knows I like to poke fun at dearly held assumptions; by any brand.
And there is a reason I always specifically state when I am "trolling".

I guess i can't follow what you are trying to say, or why. But what i think I'm getting is that bonanzas are ridiculously easy to fly and are incredibly efficient. I agree with that 100%.

Textron still makes the Bonanza; that has to say something.
