1961 BEECH N-35 BONANZA, 260 H.P. 671 SMOH, TIP TANKS, BIG WINDOWS, CHEAP !!

THE N-35 IS A "MODERN" BONANZA

VISUALLY, THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE IS THE BIG 3RD SIDE WINDOW, WHICH JUST "MAKES" A BONANZA

THE ADDITION OF THE 3RD WINDOW MEANS THAT THE INTERIOR IS ALSO CHANGED

THE SEATS IN AN "N" ARE 4 HIGH BACK, COMFORTABLE BUCKETS

THE REAR BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT IS EXPANDED, AND THIS AIRPLANE EVEN HAS A "SKI TUBE" FOR LONG ITEMS

STARTING WITH THE "N", FUEL SELECTORS AND TANKS ARE SIMPLIFIED TO ONE ON EACH SIDE. THIS AIRPLANE HAS 74 GALLONS OF WING FUEL, LIKE A V-35B AND AN A-36

BUT WAIT, THIS AIRPLANE ALSO HAS 40 GALLONS (20 EACH SIDE) IN TIP TANKS, FOR 114 GALLONS TOTAL, ENOUGH FOR BLADDER BUSTING 8 HOUR ONE-WAYS, OR MORE LIKELY, TO ELIMINATE FUELING UP ON A ROUND TRIP !!

THIS AIRPLANE HAS BAS RETRACTOR REEL FRONT SHOULDER HARNESSES ADDED

HEAVY DUTY CLEVELAND DOUBLE-PUCK WHEELS AND BRAKES

THE IO-470N IS THE 260 H.P. VERSION, THE HIGHEST OUTPUT OF ANY IO-470 BONANZA

THE ENGINE IN THIS AIRPLANE HAS ONLY 671 HOURS SINCE MAJOR OVERHAUL

THE AIRFRAME HAS 5200 TT

WHITE WITH 2 TONE RED AND A GOLD STRIPE. PAINT LOOKS GOOD OVERALL, BUT NOT A SCHEME FROM THIS MILLENIUM

THIS AIRPLANE SUFFERED DAMAGE WHEN THE OWNER AND AN INSTRUCTOR GOT A LITTLE CONFUSED  DURING A SIMULATED EMERGENCY LANDING SITUATION

AT SOME POINT DURING THE LANDING ROLL-OUT, THE PILOT RETRACTED THE GEAR.

THE NOSE GEAR FOLDED UP INTO THE WELL AS IT WAS COMMANDED, BUT THE MAIN GEAR, WITH ALL OF THE WEIGHT OF THE AIRPLANE ON THEM (OR MAYBE BECAUSE THE INBOARD GEAR DOORS WERE TAKING DAMAGE FROM SCRAPING) POPPED THE CIRCUIT BREAKER AND STOPPED MID RETRACT.

WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE BELLY, NOT AT ALL !!

NOT A TYPICAL "GEAR-UP LANDING !!

THERE IS SCRAPING DAMAGE TO THE NOSE KEEL SKIN, MOSTLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE, RIGHT AT THE EDGE OF THE NOSE GEAR WELL. THIS IS COMMONLY JUST PATCHED, WITHOUT COMPLETE SKIN REPLACEMENT

BOTH NOSE GEAR DOORS ARE QUITE SCRAPED

THE INBOARD EDGES OF THE COWL FLAPS ARE VERY SLIGHTLY SCRAPED.

THAT IS ALL OF THE NOSE DAMAGE !!

THE NOSE BOWL OR "BUG" IS NOT SCRAPED, AS IS NORMAL IN A NOSE GEAR INCIDENT, BECAUSE THE WHOLE AIRPLANE WAS AT A LOWER ANGLE BECAUSE OF THE MAINS BEING PART WAY DOWN, SO THE DAMAGE IS CRAZY LIGHT !!

THE MAIN GEAR INBOARD DOORS ARE SCRAPED AND DESTROYED.  THE INBOARD RIB ON THE LEFT SIDE HAS A SLIGHT WRINKLE RIGHT AT THE REAR HINGE ATTACH POINT, BUT IT IS LIGHT, AND NOT TORN.  THE OTHER LEFT ATTACH POINT, AND THE OTHER SIDE RIB ALL LOOK STRAIGHT.   AGAIN, THE PARTIAL MAIN GEAR CHANGED THINGS FROM NORMAL

THE GEAR ACTUATING RODS DO NOT SEEM TO BE BENT

ALL 3 OF THE GEAR THEMSELVES SHOW NO DAMAGE

THE AIRPLANE WAS LIFTED, AND WHEN POWER WAS APPLIED, THE GEAR EXTENDED, AND IS NOW DOWN AND LOCKED WITH NO ASSISTANCE (NOT STIFF LEGGED OR COBBLED UP)

THE PROP IS SCRAPPED AND BENT, AND WILL REQUIRE REPLACEMENT, BUT THERE ARE USED 2 AND 3 BLADE CHOICES FOR THIS AIRPLANE.  THE SPINNER IS UNDAMAGED

THE EXHAUST PIPES ONLY ARE FLATTENED, MUFFLERS LOOK OK

THERE IS VERY TYPICAL SHEET METAL DAMAGE RIGHT AROUND THE EXHAUST PIPE RECESSES, BUT THE BELLY, THE BELLY ANTENNAS, THE BELLY STROBE, ETC. NOVER GOT HURT AT ALL.

NO DAMAGE TO THE FLAPS !! AGAIN, BECAUSE THE GEAR DID NOT FULLY COLLAPSE

NO DAMAGE TO AILERONS, WINGS, TIP TANKS, CABIN, DOORS, TAIL OR TAIL FEATHERS

WHAT A GREAT PROJECT !!
