This blog has been inspired by my passion for general aviation. In a two-year long labor of love, I have combined the amazing engineering of the classic 1950 B35 Beechcraft Bonanza with state of the art glass-panel avionics and accessories to create what I believe is one of the finest general aviation aircraft available.
The B35 Bonanza is recognized as one of the finest examples of aviation engineering. Now nearly 60 years old, this V-tailed airplane carries more weight out of shorter airstrips and flies at higher cruise speeds than most similarly configured aircraft made today. Nearly 200 MPH on 12 GPH. And like all technology from the last century, there were significant issues with the electronics (avionics) and accessories.
It all started in early 2006, when one of my partners in N666JS (the original N-number of the airplane) had a minor incident. The propeller tips touched the runway during takeoff, and we were faced with the need to rebuild the engine.
