This is awesome! Ken is one of my favorite people, and I've flown with him to Oshkosh in that Bonanza. He's a phenomenal pilot, and I'm so glad you got to fly with him.
Bobby, your videos keep getting better and better and your dedication is very much appreciated. The formation flying footage, really helps to put on full display, the featured aircrafts over-all beauty while in its environment. By far, one of my top 3 favorite CZcams channels. Happy/Safe Flying!🙏🇺🇸👍
Damn, another great video!! Seriously Bobby, you do an excellent job of conveying the joy of flight.
Another great clip, thanks. Brings back memories from a lot of years ago when I got to fly A36 for a few years 😎
Great formation flight! I loved all the camera angles, and of course the smooooth landing... 👌🏾
Gosh, you do such a great job of videography. Great job Bobby! Really enjoy these.
Great video Bobby, enjoy the way u tell the story. Keep'em coming!!
I've had the pleasure of flying in both planes. Ken and Brandon are awesome pilots.
Nice plane. Interesting lesson on conservation of the plane and not over powering it, thus less pressure on the engine. Thanks for showing off your beautiful plane. Your a very good pilot.
Another great video and plane. Thank you for sharing!!
Awesome as usual ! Congrats for your 30k subscribers !
I like this guy! Thanks for another great video!
One of your better videos. Lots of good info on the plane.
I rode in a V tail Bonanza back from central Mexico to Nor Calif. Fortunately I was in the front seat. It yawed back and forth, you could see the wing tip moving back and forth. The two guys in the back got air sick from it. Later I rode in my nephews A-36 Bonanza and it was rock solid and a fantastic ride. Loved that plane.
Its a lovely looking aircraft... One of my favourites.
For my A3TC, I climb at 130 IAS on hot days to keep the temps below 380. Flying LOP at cruise also helps keep cylinder temps low. Other advantages of turbo: 1. easy hot starts 2. less workload - no touching the mixture on climb or descent.
Great video , I flew Beech C23 Sundowner on my flight school back on 1992 ,really strong airframe 😊👍🏼
Outstanding story and video! Nicely Done ✅
Thank you, love these videos.
Love these videos man, so cool.
Keep it up. Great videos! I watch them all.
Thank you!
I had the joy and opportunity to have been asked to ride along on early Sunday mornings with a retired attorney that owned a very, very well maintained and extremely beautiful late 60's V-tail/V-35 Bonanza. Dave was IFR rated and a very smooth, safe and competent Pilot. His sported a 3-blade prop and we would cruise at an average altitude of 7500' and around 174 indicated. The one thing that stands out to me about his Beech V-tail Bonanza, was the over-all build quality, like a light-weight tank/absolutely solid, yet elegant, the roominess, the way it and Dave seemed to tame any turbulence, the useful load and the over all speed. Beechcraft certainly earned its impeccable reputation. I miss those 40-to-45 minute 2-way flights from Frogmore International Airport, S.C. to St. Simon's Island, G.A. watching the sun rise over the Atlantic Coast and heading to the Sand Castle restaurant for home made sausage gravy and biscuits and back. Hope you are well Dave K.🙏🇺🇸👍
Dude. That’s pretty epic for first flight. I built the King Air, Beechjet, and had to sort staggerwing tooling to make room for the Premier and Horizon. Thanks for sharing that.
Great video!
The Stagerwing is one of the most beautiful airplanes ever made.
Agreed, and one of those planes that felt like it was ready to bite you every second you were at the controls LOL ,... I but you get used to that LOL
Awesome as usual
Gotta love the A-36 Bonanza
good video good aircraft
When you look at a biplane like the Beech Stagger, most people don't think about speed per se, but those are strong 200MPH machines. My old boss owned three different stagger wings over the years.
Awesome! Tim
Bobby, thanks for doing that Waco a while back! That is one of my all time favorite airplanes.
In this video, the camera that was under the plane had the wings in the frame and I have a question about the black grip tape on the right side wing. Does that grip tape produce any noticeable drag? Or does it act like a kind of vortex generator and give that side a little more lift?
Has anyone contacted you about coming to see their Honda Jet? That looks like it would be an incredible airplane to fly.
Cheers!
Sweet airplane . I'd love the chance to fly in a turbo charged Bonanza . Bobby thank you . I loved the pilots beard . I wish I could grow one .
beautiful engine sound
Nice bird , I also have a turbo V35TV-A , I have a great appreciation of turbo management, I don’t have any of the fancy stuff but I built this from ground up I literally have touch every part took 4-5 years but I got A&P in 70 when I bought a B model that was in parts oddly I started with a tri pacer and had a hard landing turned to pacer so I loved working on them gives better idea of what you can push your aircraft to do for you when you need little extra, my tank is in front of front seat, but I’ve had my 76 model since 80 and I have modded it no antennas hanging out step is gone, few other and 3 other friends helped build my 520 I never have over boosted but close it be great to have that management system but I fly by ear most times you have great bird there I’d like to fly one like yours one day nice comparison!
Bobby, I can't think you enough for the "under the hood" views in this video! I hope you will consider more engine views, when possible, in future videos. Semper Fi, TreeTop
such an underrated channel.. deserves a lot more subs
Been on a Ferry flight in a A36tc, tons of power.
Does the turbo kick in at higher RPM or does it work at all times?
Left the best place for bbq to have it somewhere else
Cessna 206 or Bonanza . Which is better
If you turbo charge it can you carry a heavier weight on your plane?
Another nice video. I would like to suggest that you capture a flight in a North American Navion if you can someday.
Dream plane!
Man that’s a slick bird! Did you by chance do any training with Tom Adams by chance?
1967 to 1968 seems to me have been a very busy years for the single engine factories in th US.
Nice camera work. Did I count 6 cameras ?!
Couple errors, V Tails can ( albeit unrealistically just like the 36) seat 6 if configured. My S-35 was a 6 seater. After a few decades as a Naval aviator I chose the V Tails over the 36s as much better planes, since the other misnomer is that it had a bad reputation, it actually had an undeserved reputation caused by the pretension of then-Bo pilots. Properly maintained, flown, it's still flew better than any 36 I flew, was lighter on the controls, and was much more the clone of the lovely little T-34. My S-35 handled my 7000 ft home airport perfectly, and better than friends' 36s. Your cruise speeds equalled mine. Fuel burn was less ROP. True... In the long-haul, I ended up with a Yak 52 since Bonanzas are more management IMC commuters than 7/-5g aviator planes, and that's what I needed. Glad you like your plane, but it affirms the wives tales remain... I'm just glad I picked my 6-seat, good-rep V tail (hence great insurance)... Just to note the corrections...
Now Btw, as a CFII (and several thousand hours in formation) I just can't ignore this, too... Your formation seemed pretty non-standard, a bit verbose, and ripe for issues, just curious if you guys did a 2-plane dissimilar airframe standardardized form brief, and if you both have certified formation cards? If not, a great place for standardization is with groups like RPA. When I saw you flying acute, with weird closure rates, I was cringing LOL. You have a nice plane, save yourself the risk and get correctly trained, and then brief, then fly the correct training... Form can bite, Fwiw. So be humble about what you could learn and sign up for some fun... :-)
A flight in that Sundowner would be nice for comparison.
Keep watching the channel :)
It’s next!
@@FlyingDoodles I'm guessing you went out in the Sundowner, back in the Bonanza.
Thanks for the video! May I ask how do you capture the cockpit audio during flight?
There's just something good about EVERY Beechcraft....
Came in a little hot on landing but great job none the less.
glad you changed the title on this video.
O2?
2th lol, great video again Bobby 👍🛩🐩🐩🍻
Well Bobby you need to expand your Horizons and get the real sensation of flight. Not the tin can! I have flown single, Twin engine, and ultralight. Tin Can VS. True Flight Bet Laura would do it !!
Found a plane for you to do a story on NC3420E, an old Aeronca Chief that has won best of at Sun and Fun, and Oshkosh based at LZU. Let me know if you want me put you in touch.
Airplanes haven’t changed that much over the years?
bonanzas, great panes. Just dont ever, ever, ever forget to switch tank, when flying...
Good advice, a must.
As with any low wing airplane 😉
Does the engine have an intercooler?
Perhaps your temperature and fuel flow issues if you had an intercooler.
Almost all aircraft piston engines are air cooled
@@FlyingDoodles I think he means an air/air radiator to cool the compressed gas after the turbo, I don't know either
An intercooler (really, an aftercooler) gets better efficiency from the turbo by cooling the intake air which makes it denser and therefore more of it into the cylinder per valve opening. This also helps prevent heat soak in the intake manifold, up to a point.
Air cooled engines are inherently prone to overheating and shock-cooling, even in cars where they don't see big ambient temperature variations like you get in the air. The answer is liquid cooling, but the GA piston market just isn't big enough or free-wheeling enough to make the transition.
Would be so awesome if Beech introduced a 2021 model 'A-37' and 'V-37' Bonanza with an over-all modern design scheme, without having to start from ground up with clean sheet design. Modernizing project could possibly be: reshape all glass/window lines, new cowl/intake cooling ports/vents, increase or maintain useful load by replacing many of the aluminum parts/skins with lighter in weight carbon fiber, offer an optional pressurized cabin with an optional TC Jet-A power-plant, to include a T-handle throttle lever and full fadec, optional A/C, the latest/greatest de-icing system, all new panel design/lines and a few panel equipment/instrument options. Maybe replace older yokes with ones used on late model King Air's (to include PTT and trim controls) and utilize the latest in light-weight sound deadening insulation wherever possible. Would be in my very humble opinion, one extremely awesome, elegant, solidly fabricated and beautiful GA aircraft, especially if suggested retail could remain as reasonable as possible.
Great idea!
@@FlyingDoodles it's called a Piper M600 or TBM 940...
Thanks Bobby.🙏🇺🇸👍
@@danielhawley6817 Those are very different and use turbine power plants, of course. All are very different, with the Beech model, being very/uniquely different. In no way saying this with "attitude", just kindly disagree with your assessment.
i honestly love getting to know more and more different planes.
I've flown most standard trainer aircraft, Cessna 172, Pa 28 in different variants including Arrow, Beechcraft F33A/C and the Pa 44 Seminole and Diamond Da 42, but i still have a lot to learn before one day i will buy my own airplane.
super plane , super paint, not common...and great video!
Living outside of Denver in the Foothills at 6,000 Feet. A Turbo Charger in a Aircraft makes life EXTREMELY easier & Lower Risks. Been looking at The Rotax 915 Engines for flying around the Rockies. We can get to Aspen in 1 hr no issues. Would LOVE a Used Honda Jet to do Relief missions across the country for @Caveman.tactics being in the business of Emergency Preparedness & Relief... would accept a TBM. Just saying...
I know that airport. I’ve landed there to get coopers bbq. I used to fly there from TPL when I was stationed in Ft. Hood during my Army days. Do they still provide courtesy car to get bbq?
Yes they sure do! There a few courtesy cars there. :)
Headset on backwards lol
Purity burdy. ✈️
Looks like nose gear hit first?
Yes, at the same time than left main gear. I have the same plane and an instructor told me to be careful not to touch with the main gear first, you have to hold the flare until the main gear touch. You may damage the nose gear. When are 3 or more people on board is easy because the CG goes aft, but with full fuel and only front seat occuped it's a little tricky because the plane gets to nose heavy. Sorry if i made a mistake in the redaction, i'm from Argentina. Greetings! Nice video.
TSIO 520UB is 300HP
I find it interesting that you are at 5500 ' at 145 KIA and still have flaps out??
153 KIAS is the Approach flap speed limitation.
Why did the other plane not have gears retracted?
It’s a fixed gear. :)
@@austinformedude Oh okay! It didn't look like a fixed gear aircraft. Thanks for the reply tho!
No wheel pants makes it look like a retractable.
When ya'll were flying in formation, Why were his flaps not at zero flaps ? They were deployed a little !
Hucfinn 16195 because the Sundowner co-ship cruises at a much slower speed.
thanks for clearing that up for me !!
Hucfinn 16195
Learning : good
Loosing all limbs to a rabid and ferocious bunny. : bad
Sailing or flying what does it for you , me out of a Yak52 into a Farr 11.6 do miss aviation but don’t mis all that radio shit.
First seen this video. I have 1980 A36TC and while heat is issue my response is to check baffles. Anything under 400 is fine. In addition his numbers are horrible. At 11,000ft I consistently fly 15.4gph, 171kt true, 370’s on temps, 28”mp,2300rpm. If you are not getting book numbers something is wrong.
Steven, just bought an '81 TC myself. Going to try plugging these numbers. The guy I bought it from was running it ROP 31"/2500RPM and I think he was getting 180-190kts but spending 21-23GPH. These settings look a bit more my speed!
@@furreveradventuring4655 the book says 31”,2400rpm,10k will I’ve 180kts@18.1gph. So my advice is use max cruise config in the book. If need to run that gph flow for cooling look to improving baffles. It’s a big deal.
🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Sorry not sorry, I'm still a Centurion fan
Video a Skydiving Turbine airplane (King Air, Caravan, Twin Otter, PAC 750, Porter etc) taking Skydivers up to 13,000 and video Laura doing a tandem jump and video the day of a Skydiver Pilot and the descent. skydiverdriver.blogspot.com/p/skydive-aircraft.html
We'd rather have the 6 seats and leave behind a little gas. But nice playing otherwise
Ill take Aspen on any airplane other than those over bloated G1000 displays that just add another 150 extra lbs of idiotic nav boxes to the plane.
Hate to nit pick, but there was virtually NO flare. Really bad technique. Cool plane though. Hard to beat a Bonanza.
he sounds a little like seth rogen :D
Looks a little like Dustin Diamond too lol
Seth Rogan is a piece of shit.
Where’s the pirate scruff Bobby. Ha
Haha filmed before I grew it!
I’ve heard turbocharged airplanes are crap and finicky and turbo normalized is the way to go. Probably why Beechcraft didn’t make very many of these and probably why there are more naturally aspirated turbo normalized bonanza’s out there than factory TC‘s.
advertising doodles take 5
Llano is not pronounced "Lano". It's pronounced more like "Yano" (the dobule Ll is pronounced more like a strong Y). Llano means flat grassy plain.
As we have an occasional tendency to say in Texas, you're not from around here, are you!? 😉
Never heard it pronounced that way, but I am from SE Texas
Llano the town in Texas is pronounced lah-no or lan-no. We know it's a Spanish word and what the "correct" pronunciation is, but that's how the locals say it and know it.
first
This whole video was edgy I felt like. He cut you off multiple times... and his comment on big bore Continentals... I fly them all them time on original factory gauges. Not to mention the video was accelerated to a certain degree.
I fly a 1958 Cessna 182A off analog CHT and EGT flying jumpers well past TBO, max performing the engine all the way up to altitude. KGLS if you ever want to catch me. I have done it successfully as well as many pilots before me. All this garbage of 'saving the engine', and his strictness on insisting other things, that have nothing to do with operating limitations shows very easily.
Doesn't take way from the aircraft itself, just wish we could have seen it with a different perspective.
In a Continental IO-360, fresh from overhaul with factory new cylinders and pistons, I lost two cylinders (out of six) due to them being run much too lean. The cylinder with the factory EGT gauge was running much cooler than the rest of the cylinders because of a mismatch of fuel injector nozzles. An engine analyzer would have made the problem immediately obvious, long before it was necessary to do a top overhaul on otherwise new cylinders. I'm in the camp that flying without an engine analyzer is something to be avoided if at all possible.
@@fly4fun610 Engine analyzers are great and all, but we operate at 100° rich of peak EGT on an O-470, and have not had any issues due to stoichiometric ratios of combustion or cylinder head temperatures. Engine analyzers are great if you want precision and better fuel burn. I don't think they are necessary to allow the engine to last longer though.
