Something special about the Bonanza's. I follow Matt Guthniller and his Bonanza and watching his videos you can see just how solid and versitile that airplane really is. You get that same feeling with the 210, which we had years ago. Great videos as ever Rich.
Rich, thanks another great video, and a lovely Bonanza. Tell me does anyone in the mechanic or owner world ever make use of the download function with those sophisticated engine data monitors? You mentioned needing to feed back some EGT and CHT numbers post maintenance. With a simple USB memory stick plugged in after flight, those values, plus a lot more besides such as RPM, fuel flow, oil t’s & p’s are all there to see. I was amazed on downloading my recently acquired 1965 Comanche’s JPI830 data, that it had stored the previous two year’s worth of engine parameters! Gives you a real good look at how the aircraft and its engine has been operated for each flight. Can never figure out why this data isn’t routinely used as part of the pre-buy. It may not be quite as useful a boroscope inspection inside the cylinders, but it sure beats the fairly inconclusive compression test! Keep up the great content 👍
We do use them for diagnostics, etc - probably not as much as we should. On this flight they wanted to see how high the M.P, and RPM went at full throttle - which we could have retrieved from the download, but needed to make a flight anyway to get the data so probably easier to record it on a phone than downloading and reading. Thanks for watching!
The Bonanzas are bullet proof single engine airplanes. They fly real nice, stable, sips fuel with decent cruise speed. A great choice for a single engine family bird.
I fly a lot and have just acquired a lot of experience over the years in lots of different airplanes and avionics. Airplanes and flying have been my professional focus for 30+ years. It's like a lot of things after 1000's of hours doing it it becomes second nature. I think anyone could do it with that experience!
Rich, you mentioned this was a post maintenance flight, but you took your usual route straight out over the ocean... in the shot of the back seat and cargo area, was that a dinghy?
Yeah been perfect weather here lately! Limited war bird flying for me (T6/T28), but something I really want to do more of some day! Thanks for watching!
Hey Rich. I'm kinda having a tough time finding a place that gets airplanes worked on and inspected in a timely fashion. I bought my own plane to take lessons in but I can't get it in to get it inspected! I'm just having to rent because it's been months upon months and I'm done waiting! Is this a common issue!? I'd really like some advice!
Both great airplanes - Bonanza is a tighter in the cockpit, and only one door over the wing so if you are bigger and traveling with someone, it can be tight up front. 210 has two doors up front, and larger cockpit area so better for two people up front in my opinion. I like the Bonanza better for access to the passenger/cargo area and utility of easily removing seats if you need to take gear, etc. As far as flying, fuel burn, speed, they are pretty comparable so can't go wrong either way. Newest 210 you get is early 80's vs Bonanza newer airplanes available which makes a difference to some people. Thanks for watching!

Classic Beech...what's there not to like...glass panel..
Beautiful...thx Rich for another experience.
Thank you for watching!

Very true - a Bonanza does a lot of missions really well. Big back doors and ease of getting seats folded up or taken out make it a great hauler too!
100%, way better than a Plastic Fantastic Cirrus...
I love the explanations. You do a great job there. The Gopro under the tail is so cool to show an other view as usual. Keep this great vids coming.
Thank you!
Nice engine monitor, lot of info and easy to read. What a great job to have!! 8) --gary
Thank you! Cheers!
What a nice clean panel!!!
Thank you for sharing your flight on this good looking aircraft.
Thank you!
@@FlyingwithRich You are welcome from cold but sunny Chicago.😊

Manufactured in 1975! Solid Bonanza for sure. A timeless aircraft design.
Well said - I Textron keeps building them!

Agree - thanks for watching!
Wouldn’t really say a bonanza sips fuel lol.
@@IlIlIlIlIlIlIlIl-v9h 160kts at 12GPH is sipping fuel while maintaining a solid cruise. I owned an A36 for 6 years.
I call that sipping fuel as well!
Engine numbers look tight. Looks like a well-maintained, solid airplane. Fun way to spend the afternoon.
Very nice airplane for sure. I love the 550 upgrade too!
👍 from Kiev
👍
Love your channel ! :3
Flying a variety of aircraft often is the most fun!
Couldn't agree more!
As you say.. 'Sweet machine!'
Great video. Thanks very much
Glad you liked it!
Nice vid rich. I see the J in the hangar. If you lower that price I’ll take it for sure
Yeah, it's a nice one for sure!
Rich, great videos! How do you stay current enough to fly all these different airframes?

@@FlyingwithRich Thanks for the reply!
Wish I kept my 64 S35 Bonanza. It had the Atlantic Aero IO-550R mod, along with a ton of other upgrades. ☹️
Love the 550 upgrades on Bonanza's - that was a cool airplane!
Do you notice any difference or have a preference regarding the older Beechcraft single point yolks? Not sure if I described that correctly.
I love the old style yokes - not much difference to me except maybe a little more room, lower panel visibility with the newer style.
@@FlyingwithRich thanks for getting back with me. Just subscribed!
How many type rating do you have? Or easier, what aren't you rated for other than airlines???? Really Enjoy all your videos!!!! Blue Skies!!!!!!
I have 3 PIC and 2 SIC type ratings, and just fortunate to have been able to fly most GA airplanes regularly over the years. Thanks for watching!
Rich, it appears that N942V is a 1975 model.
Thanks.
Rich, you mentioned this was a post maintenance flight, but you took your usual route straight out over the ocean... in the shot of the back seat and cargo area, was that a dinghy?
I don't think so - I think I'd rather lose an engine over the water and ditch than over the LA Basin!
What about a Hanger tour???
We will do one soon. Thanks for suggestion.
The weather could not have been any nicer for the short tour. Do you fly any warbirds?
Yeah been perfect weather here lately! Limited war bird flying for me (T6/T28), but something I really want to do more of some day! Thanks for watching!

Uncommon here in CA - where are you located?
What is the range with those drop tanks?
94 G (74 mains, 20 tips)- figure 4 hours + reserve @ 170 KTS is around 700NM range.
@@FlyingwithRich Thanks
Their good planes if people keep them up. But you have to put out the money to have them maintained right.
How do you feel about the Bonanza vs the 210?

The interior designers back in the day got their inspiration from……..
My aunt has one. She had the interior fitted out like a van from the seventies.
@@rawhide154
I had a van in the 70’s shag carpet and fur!!!!
@@Parr4theCourse mine was a 72 Chevy. My dad and I did it... red velvet.
@@NotTelling51
Love it, I had a Heart shaped hole in wall you crawl through for the bead area
@@Parr4theCourse dang wish I'd thought of that
1975 according to registry data.
Thanks.
Mateo we really don't need to watch the ground so much. I'm guessing you're not a pilot.
I know.. but SO SLOW..
