V-TAIL BONANZA #4???

When you are bored out of your mind so you post another pointless update video about your hobby turned dangerous addiction...If Bonnie doesn't get her prop back soon we're going to end up with a Bonanza zoo.

Love your vid's. I bought serial number D1776 a couple of months ago. '48 A35 with a 225. Flies great but is definitely going to need some attention. What prop issue are you having? I just blew out my prop governor bladder. Luckily a spare came with the plane. Hopefully my AP can get it flying again in the next few days. Good luck with yours.

Thanks, Chris! Very cool that you have an A35 as well. We have an A, B, and C model at the moment in various states of airworthiness.
The prop issue was resolved last fall. We had a Beech 215 electric prop that had been on the plane probably since the engine was put in 40ish years ago. It blew a blade seal so we had to send it in. The shop told us that the 88” blades were sadly worn beyond specs. We found some serviceable 84” blades and got old Bonnie back in the air.
I’m guessing you have the hydraulic prop on your bird. Those tend to have a little more maintenance from what I understand. We recently converted our A back to electric because we didn’t want to mess with the Hartzell. Hope yours gets back in the air! 👍

I am aware of the typo "Public servie announcement." Wasn't worth re-rendering the video over it. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. lol
