1965 BEECH S-35 BONANZA, 7101TT, 1153SMOH IO-520BA, SUPER LIGHT AIRFRAME DAMAGE, CHEAP!!
THE S-35 BONANZA IS THE FASTEST NORMALLY ASPIRATED BONANZA BUILT!!
THE SPEED TRICKS LEARNED IN THE PRECEDING MODELS WERE GIVEN THE EXTRA BOAST IN THE S-35 WITH THE ADDITION OF THE IO-520 ENGINE!!
MANY OLDER BONANZAS HAVE BEEN UPGRADED WITH 520’S, BUT AS THEY WERE NOT DESIGNED FOR THIS MUCH POWER AND SPEED, THEY ARE OFTEN LACKING, IN FUEL CAPACITY, IN CG RANGE, IN REDLINE OR WORSE YET, IN STRUCTURAL STRENGTH.
THE S-35 IS THE FIRST BONANZA DESIGNED FOR ALL THAT POWER, WITH ALL OF THE FACTORY MODS REQUIRED TO USE IT PROPERLY.
FOR THIS AND LOTS OF OTHER REASONS, LOTS OF V-TAIL BONANZA OWNERS CONSIDER THE S-35 TO BE THE BEST MODEL BONANZA! LOOK IT UP, IN A VOTE, THE S-35 OFTEN WINS !!
THE POPULARITY OF THE S-35 ISN'T JUST SPEED (BUT THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH SPEED) BUT ALSO BECAUSE IT HAS:
NEW STYLE DASH, WITH NO PIANO KEYS, STANDARD INSTRUMENT ARANGEMENT AND CENTER STACK AVIONICS.
FOUR BUCKET SEATS, ALL WITH TRACKS FOR FORE AND AFT ADJUSTMENT.
ENLARGED REAR BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT, WITH NO SILLY HUMP IN THE MIDDLE.
GOOD VENTILATION SYSTEM
OUTSIDE, LONG TRAPEZOID REAR WINDOWS
EXTENDED TAILCONE STINGER
LANDING LIGHT ON NOSEGEAR
WINGTIPS WITH NAV AND STROBES UNDER GLASS
THE S-35 CAME STANDARD WITH A FLAT 2 PIECE WINDSHIELD AND THE OLDSTYLE FRAME AROUND THE LEFT CALL WINDOW, BUT THIS AIRPLANE HAS THE 1 PECE SPEEDSLOPE WINDSHIELD UPGRADE AND HEAVY, FRAMELESS SIDE GLASS AS WELL.
THE SPEEDSLOPE WINDSHIELD ADDS CRUISE SPEED (ALREADY 205 MPH IN THE S-35), REDUCES NOISE, AND ADDS MORE VOLUME TO THE COCKPIT.
THIS AIRPLANE HAS THE 80 GALLON LONG RANGE FUEL, JUST LIKE ALL OF THE V-35 SERIES AFTER IT. (SIMPLE LEFT OR RIGHT, NOTHING TRICKY).
(STANDARD FUEL WAS A TOO LITTLE 50 GALLONS, WHICH GAVE NO ENDURANCE OR RANGE)
THIS AIRPLANE HAS BEEN OWNED BY THE SAME WOMAN FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.
BUT AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE, YOU DO NOT GET CREDIT FOR HOW MANY TIMES YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY PUT THE GEAR DOWN, YOU HAVE TO DO IT EVERY TIME!!
SHE THINKS SHE HAD THE GEAR DOWN, BUT AN FBO EMPLOYEE NOTICED HER APPROACH WITH GEAR UP, TRIED TO GET ON THE RADIO TO WARN HER, BUT TOO LATE.
BY THE SCRAPING ON THE INBOARD GEAR DOORS, WHICH IS VERY LIGHT, SHE MAYBE REACTED AT THE LAST MOMENT WITH A DOWN SWITCH.
THE FLAPS WERE DOWN, SO AS YOU WOULD IMAGINE, SO THE INBOARD TRAILING EDGES ARE BOTH SCRAPED UP, AND THERE IS SCRAPING TO THE BOTTOM OF THE STEP AS WELL.
WHAT THERE IS VERY LITTLE OF IS SCRAPING ON THE BOTTOM OF THE AIRPLANE!!
THE NOSE GEAR DOORS ARE SCRAPED ON THE BACK 1/3, AND THE REAR SIDE OF THE GEAR WELL SKIN IS SCRAPED AS WELL.
BOTH EXHAUST TAILPIPES ARE FLATTENED, BUT THIS IS WHERE THE SCRAPING ENDS!!
THE PANEL IN THE CENTER THAT STARTS AT THE NOSEGEAR WELL IS THE ONLY PANEL WITH SIGNIFICANT SCRAPING, NOTHING AFT OF THAT!!!
A FEW OF THE FORWARD MOUNTED ANTENNAS THAT STUCK DOWN A WAYS ARE SCRAPED OFF, BUT NOT AT THE BASES!!
THERE IS AN OLD ADF ANTENNA STILL ON THE BELLY, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WING, AND IT WASN’T TOUCHED AT ALL!!
NO SCRAPING AT ALL TO ANY OF THE MIDDLE OR AFT BELLY, THE STEP AND THE FLAPS HELD THE BELLY UP!!!!!
AND THE STEP ATTACH POINT DOES NOT APPEAR WRINKLED OR TORN AT ALL.
THE INBOARD GEAR DOORS ARE THE VERY FIRST THING TO MOVE IN THE GEAR EXTENSION CYCLE, AND JUDGING BY THE SMALL AREA OF SCRAPING TO EACH, THEY BARELY MOVED.
THE NOSEGEAR DIDN’T MOVE AT ALL, SO IT IS UNDAMAGED, AND THE MAINGEAR IS UNDAMAGED AS WELL.
EQUIPPED WITH CLEVELAND DOUBLE PUCK HEAVY DUTY BRAKES WITH SUPER-THICK CHROME ROTORS.
THERE IS NO SCRAPING TO THE NOSE BUG (LOWER NOSE COWL) OR THE FORWARD PART OF THE NOSE DOORS OR NOSE WELL.
SO THE PROP IS BENT ON BOTH BLADES, AND YOU KNOW THAT MEANS AN ENGINE INSPECTION, BUT IT SURE SEEMS LIKE THIS AIRPLANE WOULD BE A GOOD FERRY CANDIDATE WITH JUST THE REPLACEMENT OF THE PROP, AND A LITTLE PATCHING OF THE FLAP TRAILING EDGES (OR REPLACEMENT NOW IF YOU WANT, YOU WILL WANT TO REPLACE THEM EVENTUALLY). I WOULD EXPECT THE NOSE GEAR DOORS AND MAINS TO BE FINE FOR A FERRY, THEY ARE NOT THAT BAD.
INSIDE, THE 4 INDIVIDUAL BUCKET SEATS ARE A MODERN MEDIUM GREY LEATHER, AND HAVE BEEN UPDATED WITH VERY NICE LOOKING MODERN BOLSTERS, AND GATHERED LEATHER CENTERS. VERY NICE!
ON THE DASH, FOUR OF THE AVIONICS PANEL UNITS HAVE BEEN REMOVED, AND ARE NOT INCLUDED, BUT ALL 4 OF THOSE TRAYS ARE STILL INSTALLED AND WIRED, SO REPLACEMENT IS A SIMPLE SLIDE-IN AFFAIR IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK WITH THIS SAME EQUIPMENT.
THE TRAYS INSTALLED ARE FOR A GARMIN AUDIO PANEL, (2) MK 12D DIGITAL NAV-COMS, AND A NEW ADSB STRATUS ESG TRANSPONDER, WITH INSTALLED ADSB OUT AND ADSB IN TO IPAD.
THE REMOVED TYPE RADIOS THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED ARE AVAILABLE ON THE OPEN MARKET, FROM US OR OTHERS, NOW OR IN THE FUTURE, OR USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO INSTALL MORE MODERN EQUIPMENT OF YOUR CHOOSING WITHOUT PAYING FOR ITEMS YOU DON’T WANT
THE AUTOPILOT TURN CO-ORDINATOR AND D.G. WITH HEADING BUG HAVE BEEN REMOVED, AND THE S-TEC AUTOPILOT SYSTEM IS NOT INCLUDED. YOU CAN FIND IT AVAILABLE ON A SEPARATE EBAY LISTING TOMORROW.
ALL OF THE REST OF THE FLIGHT AND ENGINE INSTRUMENTATION IS INTACT AND INCLUDED, OF COURSE, AS SHOWN, INCLUDING THE GLIDESLOPE AND VOR/LOCALIZER INDICATORS!!
THE AIRPLANE HAS A SINGLE RAM’S HORN YOKE, AND AN OPTION NOT OFTEN FOUND ON BONANZAS, AN ELECTRIC PITCH TRIM!!
THIS MODERN S-TEC STAND ALONE SYSTEM CONSISTS OF A TRIM SERVO IN THE TAIL AND A ROCKER SWITCH ON THE YOKE, AND IT MAKES CLIMB OUT AND DECENT A MUCH EASIER AND MORE PRECISE PROCESS.
AVIONICS STILL INCLUDED IN THE DASH INCLUDE A KING KMD 150 BIG SCREEN MOVING MAP GPS, WHICH SEEMS TO WORK VERY WELL, AS WELL AS A MAGELLEN GPS IN THE CENTER DASH, THAT TURNED ON OK, BUT I DIDN’T WAIT TO SEE IF IT WOULD AQUIRE.
THIS IS A GOOD LOOKING AIRPLANE INSIDE AND OUT, AND WAS THE OWNERS PRIDE AND JOY, SO MUCH SO THAT SHE ASKED THE FAA TO TRANSFER THE CUSTOM N NUMBER FROM THIS PLANE TO HER REPLACEMENT BONANZA, SO YOU WILL NEED TO ADD A NUMBER TO THE FRONT OF THIS 3 NUMBER AND A LETTER CURRENTLY ON THE SIDE, MAKING IT A STANDARD 4 NUMBER AND A LETTER, LIKE MOST PLANES.
SOLD WITH LOGBOOKS SINCE NEW FOR THE AIRFRAME AND SINCE 72 ON THE ENGINE, PLUS FAA BILL OF SALE AND A COPY OF THE AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE.
LAST ANNUAL JUST PERFORMED 6/15/2018, SO THE AIRPLANE IS TECHNICALLY IN ANNUAL FOR 7 MORE MONTHS! NOT A SITTER, SHE USED IT AND KEPT IT MAINTAINED!!
THE IO-520BA ENGINE WAS OVERHAULED IN 2003 BY CUSTOM AIRMOTIVE, AND NOW HAS 1153 SMOH.
COMPRESSIONS AT THE LAST ANNUAL, AND ALL ANNUALS SINCE OVERHAUL ARE IN THE 70'S!! 1 THAT DIDN'T MEASURE UP TO THAT LEVEL WAS OVERHAULED! NO SLACKERS ALLOWWED ON THIS AIRPLANE!
THE S-35 IS GENERALLY AN $80-90,000 AIRPLANE ON THE MARKET, SO THIS ONE IS A STEAL AT LESS THAN 20% OF THAT FIGURE. IF YOU REMOVE OR REPLACE THE NOSE GEAR DOORS AND THE PROP, IT DOESN’T REALLY SHOW ANY DAMAGE YOU CAN EASILY SEE!!
LOCATED AT THE CHANDLER, ARIZONA AIRPORT, ON A CHEAP MONTHLY TIE-DOWN, SO IT WON’T COST MUCH TO LEAVE IT THERE UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO MOVE IT!
THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO OWN POSSIBLY THE BEST, AND CERTAINLY FASTEST BONANZA EVER BUILT, AT A LOW PRICE THAT WILL MAKE YOUR BUDDIES ENVIOUS!!
GOOD BIDDING!
