Great video packed with goodies as usual! Any chance you'll make a "Baby Beech" video? Something like the Piper Cherokees overview, but featuring the Musketeer series?
I love how you break down what years things happened.. I wish this existed from every boat and car I looked at as well 😅. It's a lotta work breaking down what things you're going to buy when your rich uncle you didn't know about dies and leaves his empire to you
Got a buddy with a '69 36. Hasn't flown since '08 though. However I'm working on my A&P so I can work on my Cherokee for far less. Said if I get it airworthy I can fly it for free!
I own an A36. Your numbers are fairly close. One major correction, if you are looking for a Bonanza, you would not be looking at a Cessena or Piper. You can’t compare those to a Beech. Close the door in a Cessena and it will feel like you just got in a cheep Corolla. There is something special about Beechcraft and especially the A36.
I agree wholeheartedly. I've flown 3 different models of piper, including the high performance competitor, and it isn't even near the same category. As much as I love Cessna, a privately owned 2007 C206H didn't handle as well as a 1967 V35. That's saying something. Furthermore, to get such top class build quality with the robust nature of Beechcraft products is rare. Cirrus or Mooney for example-- an argument can be made for class, but one or two unimproved strips is going to have the owner sweating. The bonanza takes it like a champ. There's no better GA plane in its class... just my humble opinion. : )
@@theflyingdutchman4741id agree that Piper and cessna are built to a price and mooney and beechcraft were built to a quality. The older mooneys do ok on less than paved runway, but bonanza got them beat being a much taller softer gear
Do you think you would make a video on the piper seneca? ever since i started looking into them i found it funny that they have basically the same market price as a saratoga despite having twice as many engines :3
Your insurance quote is way off! Would factor $5-8k/year based on hull value and time (time in type, retract, complex). I own a 1970 A36 with about 500hrs TT and 200hrs in type and pay $6k. It's a great plane, and I actually replaced the avionics with the Dynon Skyview system, which I also love. I can burn 12gph at cruise LOP, have the long range tanks so fly for 8hrs with a 1hr reserve (longest flight I have ever done is 7hrs), and normally plan for 160 KTAS.
@CompleteWalkaround $300k actually. Insurance rates have been going up. I have more time in time, completed the American Bonanza Society training, and Wings; and they raised my rate 🙃
@@Vejitasei That puts you at 2% a year which is at the extreme high end for bonanza. Do you have a Commercial or Instrument rating? 1.5% is pretty average. Keep in mind, my videos average rates internationally. Data from this video came from a handful of individual pilots and two bonanza owner clubs and my contacts at 2 insurance companies. 1.5% is the number. 1.25% for commercial pilots with
Christ. If the American Aviation industry doesn't want General Aviation to fucking die, they'd better find a way to make this shit affordable, and fast.
@@kiltedpiper98 When I analyzed the financials of a partnership I was considering entering, I found that even in a 4-partner setup, I would struggle to fly 100h below 25000. This aircraft was maintained to a high standard though so annuals were averaging closer to 10k every year, which is the way I want it in an aircraft used for family transport.
He finally landed his RV-3 !
A new installment of my favorite series, “you can’t have an airplane”
I love my mooney!! Maybe not as fast but on average 155mph across the ground at around 8.5-9.0 gph
Honey wake up, new Complete walkaround video just dropped.
Glad you are back on this series! Missed this a lot!
Welcome back! 🎉
The Beechiest! Thanks again for another great video. Always good for a funny, slightly snarky commentary. Or is it you're just realistic!?
The best three minutes of my day. Thank you!
whoo new complete walkaround!
Hi, always enjoy your delivery style in your videos; humorous and informative. Can you do one on TL Ultralight Stream? Thanks for the great work.

Good as well. Thanks for metrics and kilos 😊
I would love to see a video on costs of the turbo commander

Can you do a video on the Corby Kestrel or the Edge 540?

You Beechcraft people are like Porsche people... convinced of the superiority of your machines. Uh, oh, I am giving myself away, here.
@@grafhilgenhurst9717 Well played :-D
Fast and heavy sounds like a niche search term.... and yes, that's a whole 'lotta beech
Do one on the citation mustang or phenom 100
"STC's" you say? The Adeptus Mechanicus would like a word...
I love the comparision with the "less expensive" Cherokees 😅

@@CompleteWalkaround oh, thank you!
would it be possible to do a yak-52 one
nah you're good, leave it in ;)
That's what she said
@@MatheusLB2009 too good
I love you video so much❤❤
Good useful load but narrow short backseat only good for kids or one woman ... Baggage area is pretty useless size if you need to use the seats
Now the baron 58?
here we go
Must do the Debonair
Dang, I felt that Mooney burn all the way over here.
Son of a Beech. he made one again!

Is your hull value in the 400k range?

Honey, come quick! Complete Walkaround is explaining why I can’t afford THIS plane either!
$25k/year for 100 hrs seems low. Probably more like $50-100k all in.
I think $4k for annuals are way too low for this plane.
Christ. If the American Aviation industry doesn't want General Aviation to fucking die, they'd better find a way to make this shit affordable, and fast.
The answer to cost to own. A lot…..
I dare you to do the Pipistrel Velis Electro
#1 is your dignity
Annual $4000??? Hah. I wish.
Though you’re not going to operate a Bo 100h/yr for 25k.
My buddies with Bo's say they expect $230-$250/yr with a cheaper hangar ($4k is about the zone around here).
