You'll be singing a different tune when I am stood there with the keys and you wanna fly it - might even happen while you still have a medical
For the heathen on the last page who asked what it is - the green bits are a 2010 A36 Bonanza - the rest is a 1970 A36 Bonanza

So by the time it's finished, it'll be a 2008 (started then didn't you Chuck?) to 2030 model Bonanza, on a 1976 frame,

Looking more like an aircraft every day though, good job. What fancy gadgets are going to go in the front?

Ok Dr, I'll be a little more specific, .
What fancy gadgets that were around in 1980 are going in it?

Where would you possibly get the impression I will be able to afford gadgets when this madness is finished?
I did the gadget spending 6 years ago - replaced the 1970 original King crap with a new G340/OHC KLN90b/KX155 and a new ICOM 2nd VHF. I have to buy a G496 because my 'mate' the good Dr bought me a special Bonanza G496 mount - some mate hey?
I am perfectly happy with my Century 3 A/P so its just getting overhauled for about 10% of the cost of one of them fancy digital units which actually dont fly the aeroplane much better.
Other than that I am just going to pull the panel out, spruce it up/paint it, clean up any suss wiring and put everything back in an eye pleasing manner.
If I win the lotto I might throw in an ASPEN1000 Pro.

Chimbu W..
You're on a roll.. Just for my 17 inch screen tho. the Big ones are just a little big, but the small ones Way-Too-Small..
Took a couple from inside that Widgeon on the way to, and on the water at Princess Charlotte Bay, out of Cairns a while back. Was a great flight riding along on a day off from another job.

Just helping my wantok Chimbu Warrior nut out how to post pics that don't come out the size of thumbnails - not my pic although I used to fly the tuned up version, Falcon 200, that is a Falcon 20.
The 727 VH-RMN in Poly colours was the last of the straight 200's in pax configuration with Ansett and also appeared in East West Colours for a short while. The other Ansett 727's were 'LR' versions with the increased t/off wt to 89,358kg. (RMN was 86,409kg). With the same engines the straight 200 was nicer to fly and for some reason easier to land. A beautiful aeoplane in every way, a true thoroughbred. Thanks for the photo.
