I don’t know how I missed this great site over the years, but I’m glad I’ve found it!
I’ve owned 3 Bonanza’s over the last 28 years. My 1st was a H-35 that I owned with my father until 1996 when I sold her and bought a 1974 A36. After several anemic takeoffs with my wife & 3 kids out of mile high strips I decided I better go turbo. In 1998 I bought N6641T a 1980 A36-TC with 2800 TT. This has been a fabulous airplane. I had considered Turbo Normalizing the 1974 A36 and heard all the negatives about factory turbo’s but putting $35,000 (1998) into my existing plane and still have a 1400 SMOH engine just didn’t pencil for me. I found 41T with a run out engine and put a Western Skyways overhauled engine in and haven’t looked back. It actually ended up costing me $40,000 difference and I got a 6 year newer airframe with a 0 SMOH TSIO-520-UB! I updated the baffles, added fuel flow & engine monitoring when I had the engine installed and I haven’t had any cooling issues. Along the way I updated the panel with Garmin goodies. GNS430,MX20, GMA340, GTX327 & SL60.
