Intro to the Beechcraft C33 Debonair, Interior and Exterior

We walk through a real world Beechcraft Debonair C33, looking at all important exterior and interior features.
This particular airplane is well instrumented, with a mix of "old" and "new", that makes it far more capable than the factory-installed cockpit.

Thanks for putting this video together. I have a 1965 Debonair.
Just to add one little thing: The white lever below the prop control is connected to the engine intake not the static system. You pull this if the intake filter is clogged to bypass the filter. It could also free potential icing that has built up in the intake system.

Good point, thanks for pointing out and clarifying.

Absolutely love the plane. Looking at a Debonair or Mooney M20F after I finish my IR in the spring. I am salivating over yours 😂.

[@flightlevel1803]

both are really nice. the seating is very different in the two airplanes... the Mooney is more like a sports car w/ reclining seats, while the deb is more upright. It's a matter of preference.

@@flightlevel1803 I appreciate the response. I need to switch from online research to in person research.

Thank you very much, very informative!

Glad you enjoyed it! I worry that the content is too dry for most people, but personally I loved digging into the details on various airplanes.

[@crazycons]

I just reviewed the video and recognized the 3-point harnesses. Something I am also missing in our plane as of now...

You have to lock down the tip tank fuel cap in order to lose and lock the cover. 👌

[@flightlevel1803]

👍yes for sure. I went back after I hit the "stop" button and fixed it.

[@bobwilson758]

Sooo clueless it worries me - best of good luck !

[@flightlevel1803]

Maybe fill in the details here? Would love to hear your insight.

I bought one crashed and it is currently being put back in shape... The biggest challenge at the moment is to find a used and fitting prop. How much did you spend on the LED lights? Like your C33 a lot as well!

[@flightlevel1803]

The LED lights were already installed when purchased. Pretty awesome lighting on this airplane, it really lights things up.

[@crazycons]

@@flightlevel1803 what kind of lights are used there?

[@gregsquires6487]

Is it for sale? Thanks

[@flightlevel1803]

haha, absolutely not.
