1952 Beechcraft Bonanza Checkout

That was cool. My dad had a C model and he would take me up and swing the yoke over and let me fly. I was 12 at the time and it hooked me on aviation forever. I'm now a airline pilot with over 25,000 hours and will be forever thankful my father took me flying.

We just purchased a '55 model F35. A question on the fuel return to the left tank from the PS5C. I've read somewhere that the carb bypasses up to 3 gph back to the left main. You mentioned 2/10's of a gallon. Can you confirm those numbers? Thanks.

@75Bird455 Good catch- You're right, I meant to say "2 to 3 gallons per hour"

About 3 GPH avg, varies w/ RPM, mix, alt. etc.

Thanks for the Bonanza College! Split windshield and all..being a '52 I guess the pie piece rear windows were added later? Great Dr. Killer, mind the push panel. It's nice to see an old bone that still has a roaring 2 blade.

@tboltjohn yea that's a good question...were the rear windows stock in 1952? or added later? Any other old Bone experts?
