1963 BEECHCRAFT P35 BONANZA

Description

Detailed Description Discover exceptional performance without sacrificing higher fuel costs. When not flying for a local hamburger, I typically travel with my wife & our two doodles. Cruising speed (without wind correction) has consistently been around 170 knots (195 mph) @ 23 squared. This V-Tail at maximum t/o weight is a bit over 3,100 pounds & rides very smooth. The fuel burn has been pretty steady at 12 gallons per hour. When landing or departing most airports, it draws quite a bit of attention with it's unique physical characteristics. This plane has not been a flight-school trainer, has no known hail or other damage, no known corrosion & has been hangered. I have the complete logbooks - both electronically & original paper logbooks. It is very IFR capable with avionics that offer redundancy (not that avionics or steam gages ever fail lol). We have flown several long-distance trips & this v-tail has been very reliable. When flying into Glacier National Park area (KGPI), the airport sits in a bowl surrounded by some pretty high mountains. When departing Glacier, we had to make a couple trips around the bowl in order to gain sufficient altitude to depart the area & this plane handled it like a trooper. Before this plane, we flew a Cessna 172 XP for several hundred hours. There is not much of a comparison between these two aircraft, except for a similar fuel burn. This is not a beginner airplane & proper training is well advised. With that said, you should be very happy with this fast flying, well handling bird. Reason for selling. It's time to try my skills in a twin engine. This is a fast, reliable & well-equipped V-Tail. I can deliver this plane to you, if requested. * Cleveland Brakes (Installed 1975). * D'Shannon Front Window (1992). * Left & Right Ruttervators Replaced (1992). * D'Shannon Left & Right Windows (1996). * Whelen Wing & Tail Strobe Light System (2008). * Power Plane Alternator System (2011). * Whelen LED Flashing Beacon (2024). * LED Landing & Taxi Lights. * Left & Right Fuel Tanks 40 Gallons Per Side (37 Usable). * Vented Windows (Pilot & Co-Pilot). * Upgraded Ceiling Vents. * Rosen Sun Visors. * Tanis Preheater System. * Battery Trickle Charger Connection System. * Annual Completed 06/01/26.
