Recently purchased in Toronto, Canada, this 1969 long body Bonanza has been well taken care of and updated in all areas. It was registered in Canada for the last 21 years. The airframe has 3800 hours(NDH) and the Continental IO-520 (285 HP) engine has 790 HRS since overhaul. Indicated airspeed is about 175 mph on 14 gph. It has a 3 blade prop, 97 paint, 94 soft gray leather/vinyl interior, Narco digital radios, King GPS, STEC electric trim, wing tip strobes, 4 place intercom, autopilot, Rosen visors and sheep skin seat covers.

Beech started building 36's in 1968 and produced 184 in 68 and 69 before it became the A36 in 1970. Beech originally designed it as a utility vehicle/station wagon. With the double rear doors for loading and 6 seats (2 removed), this early model has a payload of 900 lb. after 74 gals of useable fuel is pumped on board. Gross weight is 3600 lbs.

I enjoy flyouts and camping and this cross country machine should be able to carry passengers and equipment to many memorable weekend outings.
