    Description
    One of the nicest, cleanest, most modernized/upgraded classic Bonanzas anywhere in the world! 34B was knowingly landed gear-up in 1969, got a tear-down, got repossessed, logs got lost, drama, drama, drama. But by 1980, it had been flying again for ten years and repainted before inexplicably getting stored until 1988, at which point a chain of loving owners began a metamorphosis. No expense was spared as this Bonanza got first a thorough annual and engine conversion to an E225, then converted to fuel-injection, and then a full panel replacement, with lots of stuff that would have made anyone in those days jealous! Since then, 3 more owners have kept it flying, regularly but not a lot, taking care of squawks as they've arisen, which, since I took over in 2015 has been rare. The I-E225 starts instantly, idles smooth, the EDM-700 shows it pulling strong, cool, and almost GAMI-even across all 6 cermi-chromed cylinders, and with a dynamically-balanced no-AD original Beechcraft electric controllable-pitch prop, smoothly and effortlessly makes book numbers every...single...time. I've flown it regularly, about 120 hours in nearly four years, and it's never stranded me or let me down. Mags were overhauled spring, 2018, new tires and tubes going on concurrent with this ad.
