1957 BEECHCRAFT H35 BONANZA

Description

N474Z is a 1957 Beechcraft H35 Bonanza with 5,574 hours total time, a June 2026 annual, and a modern Garmin IFR panel built around a GTN 650 navigator, a GFC 500 digital autopilot and dual G5 flight displays. The interior was redone in January 2024, and a Beechcraft Bonanza jack is included with the sale. The airplane is based at Blanco Landing Airport (3TA5) in the Texas Hill Country. A Classic V-Tail with a Modern Panel The H35 is the 1957 model-year V-tail Bonanza: four seats, retractable gear and a fuel-injected Continental IO-470-G. N474Z pairs that classic airframe with a panel built for real IFR flying and a list of practical upgrades: a one-piece windshield in place of the original two-piece windshield and center post, tinted windows, a Plane Power alternator, a Hartzell starter, a full-flow spin-on oil filter, and GAMIjectors for smooth, lean-of-peak capable fuel injection. The Garmin GTN 650 touchscreen GPS/NAV/COMM with WAAS flies GPS approaches down to LPV minimums and couples to the Garmin GFC 500 digital autopilot for hands-off approaches, altitude and vertical speed holds, and a one-button Level mode. Dual Garmin G5s serve as the attitude indicator and HSI, each with a backup battery, so the vacuum system is gone entirely. A Garmin GTX 335 transponder provides ADS-B Out, a Garmin GMA 340 audio panel handles the intercom, a JPI EDM 700 monitors EGT and CHT on every cylinder, and a Bendix/King KX 155 with glideslope serves as a second NAV/COM. Inspections, Interior and Paint N474Z has a current annual inspection completed in June 2026. In May 2025 the main landing gear struts were removed, resealed and serviced. The Continental IO-470-G has 1,343 hours since major overhaul and 419 hours since top overhaul, and the new McCauley two-blade constant-speed propeller installed in 2021 has only 109 hours on it. The interior was reupholstered in January 2024 by Exclusive Aircraft Interiors of Las Cruces, New Mexico, including the headliner, window frames, side panels, seats and carpet. The exterior was painted in 1998. Complete logbooks are available for review, and a Beechcraft Bonanza jack is included with the sale. Based at Blanco Landing Airport (3TA5) in Blanco, Texas, northwest of San Antonio and southwest of Austin
