Rare to see such details covered so well....and I liked the human perspective on it all. well done
Really like your videos. Have owned and flown A36's for the past 15 years in partnerships, but bought my own F33A in December 2016. Thanks for sharing.
This is very well done. Great insight into Bonanza maintenance
Would love more videos I love your enthusiasm on general aviation and really enjoy your videos thanks for sharing. Hope to get flying again soon and finish my private pilot then ifr
Great looking Bo and nothing wrong with over maintaining a machine that keeps you and the fam alive.
I saw this plane for sale on pristine aircraft website it sure is a really nice plane. But thanks for sharing the videos on it and what you showed us all about it and what to look for it sure is informational for us all thanks again.
Thanks for the video, looking at purchasing a Bonanza so these types of things are fantastic!
First video that I see from you and I've gotta tell ya.. I'm in love with your Bonanza. I'm such a great lover of this airplane in particular and hope to fly one when I become a pilot. Keep doing such a great work and fly safe! Cheers from Venezuela.
First fly an old Cessna, then leap to fame in a Bonanza.
My advice to you after 2000 hours behind the pistons.
Not a Bo owner, but I learned a lot. Very nice to see the details that your mechanic was able to catch.
Thank You very much for sharing Your knowledge...Great explanations and easy for understand it.
Just came across your vid and thanks, as an IA from a school that has F33A's I learned something new with the exh. springs on the cowl flap bolts Thanks :) One thing to note on the brass throttle arms on mixture and throttle, in my experience on factory engines they will be loose again on serrations after the first 100 hrs and need to be torqued up again, once that is done they stay tight, no fault of the mechanic, there is even a tag warning about torquing when new. Nose gear pushpull tube rod ends are the weak point for wear and we also use the 2000 hr recommendation for replacement.
Great points. There is a mandatory service bulletin on these brass arms. I had them replaced shortly after buying the plane for the stainless steel ones which is said will not exhibit this issue (tougher material). I also had all of the landing gear rod ends replaced with new.
@@BonanzaBart Thanks, you have a good plane and should last a long time, ( some other things) the landing gear on our planes sometimes get cycled 13 times an hr on touch and goes :/ and hold up very well, the 4 transmission bolts that hold it in need to be tight as well otherwise expense and time will need to be spent rebushing the hogged out holes. The gear motor brushes surprisingly last a very long time 2000 hrs and maybe even up to 3000 hrs but we haven't pushed it that far. If the gear works and is rigged it will keep the plane out of the junkyard, good work and best of luck.
I am glad that you mention that you just cant do a repair on the ramp if you are not a A&P. Also people who change things around and do their jerry rigging, etc is not legal. Everything has to be approved by the FAA if you going to modify it. So who ever put that ground wire maybe did not know what they did. I am glad yoou got it back to normal. :) you have a very beautiful plane and the way you take care of it shows.. PRIDE OF OWERSHIP :) Happy flying
Thank you for another great video , love to hear about the little things that you can do to your airplane to keep it up.
i know I'm quite off topic but do anybody know a good site to watch newly released series online?
@Elian Anderson Flixportal =)
@Kaleb Malik thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :D I really appreciate it !!
@Elian Anderson happy to help =)
Thanks for the tips on what to look for.
Bonanza? = FOOOOOO!!!!! ❤❤❤
Really informative videos Bart! You take excellent care of your Bonanza. Love it if you would do some inflight videos.
Thank you. There is an abundance of in-flight vids out there so I do not think I have much to contribute in that dept. Besides, I like focusing on the maintenance/engineering aspects of the plane.
8:06 / 22:55 AutoZone has one of matching voltage and amp draw. Good luck getting a ferry permit in YOUR A/C.
Emphasis on your A/C.
I have seen my share of mods to my A/C's fuel etc. to know well enough what gets me safe on.
Thank you for the great info.
Good Job, Owner !
Beautiful paint. Think about getting a roll around cart to place tools, gill panels and such instead of the wings. That's a bad habit. Glad to see you taking the time to do some maintenance personally as it gives you a better perspective during preflight inspections. I'm up in Elkhart, 3C1 on the South side of town.
William Langford Good point about the cart. I fly to KEKM occasionally as my relatives live there.
Maybe he can get a carpet like the ones that car mechanics like to use on the sides of the engine cavity when they pop the hood to work on the car. They can protect your paint from scratches and grease if you still keep putting things on the wings. But getting the roll cart is in fact a better option.
Who’s your mechanic and where are they located? I would like to take my Bonanza there also.
Thanks!
Annual Inspection prices ?
Great videos and bravo for being able to criticize your own beautiful airplane!
Enjoy your videos. I've learned an important area to check esp on large Continentals are the exhaust valves. Does your mechanic borescope the exhaust valves for proper symmetrical burn patterns? According to Mike Busch, they are the most thermally stressed parts of the cylinders.
Of course. I am planning to do a video shortly about borescope inspections and how to do these yourself using an inexpensive borescope.
Flight of Passage very cool. Do you fly corporate or for an airline?
Matt Robinson Nope.
Bart, I'm partnering on a '82 A36 myself but can't get over how nice your paint scheme is and the interior is beautiful. Seat contouring looks very comfortable. Can you share if you completed these items or was it this way when purchased? If so where was the interior done?
Thank you kindly for the comments. Unfortunately, I cannot take the credit for the paint job or the interior. Both were completed by Pristine Airplanes, the company I bought the plane from. After 5 years of use, I can attest that both the paint and interior are wearing extremely well with no issues and the seats are indeed very comfortable.
Bart, does your wife allow you to keep your house this clean?
What are your thoughts on plugging in an air dryer when your plane is parked?
I think it is not a bad idea. Only problem is kind of a PITA to set-up and maintain. Hence, I prefer to fly the plane weekly and use Camguard so I do not have to worry too much about corrosion inside the engine. I also change oil every 4 months.
Hi Bart. What's the maximum and minimum for oil (A36 - IO550B1F). Thank you.
Max - 12 quarts, min I think is 6 or so. But do not put more than 10 unless you want to spend the entire weekend cleaning airplane's belly. I keep mine around 9-10 quarts.
@@BonanzaBart Thanks a lot. God bless you.
I like your CuB behind your plane I have RC jet 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🛩
The poor Cub hasn't flown in 15 years or so unfortunately. I was keeping it in hopes one of my kids will take up RC. It still has the old FM transmitter in it ;-)
I thought the battery master is the top one
No, the top solenoid is for auxiliary power receptacle.
Ive really enjoyed your videos man, keep up the great vids man, you inspired me to start making some videos myself, if you have a chance check them out and let me know what you think!
The things that can go wrong and this is one of the best well built airplanes. Never going to get near a cheap ass piper Cherokee again, life is too valuable.
