Only $0.5M.........are you sure? I thought they were a tad more than that.
The FTDK will be salivating like one of Pavlov's dogs!
Change the rego numbers and they might not notice the split in the tail

"Does it do anything my A36 doesn't do...like polish my knob or something?"
CC - one of the few areas where the Bonanza airframe comes up short is in having the cabin room for in-flight knob polishing as an after market option. While the BE36 will easily carry a knob polisher, in fact it will carry several if your need extends that far, it would be quite difficult to position even one knob polisher to function effectively.
In this area, the C210 has it all over the Bonanza!

nice one xhair
finally a photo!
if you can afford one, you could probably also afford to have a section of spine removed to enable self-service knob polishing. Then you can always fly solo

Thanks Crosshair,
With the base price plus some extra goodies, exchange conversion, GST and some freight/delivery flight etc. I reckon you break into a 7 digit price in Aussie Dollars

The mob I fly with are all Bonanza fanatics and operate three A36s and - until recently - an FTDK. When the V35 was landed on its nose I tried to convince them to buy us a G36 to replace it. Although there was sympathy for my cause the price tag was very off-putting.
There appears to be quite a few Bonanza people crossing their fingers for the Tattslotto numbers!

HB Pricing Structure
Hawker Beechcraft (nee Raytheon) were flogging the G36 for USD$619K give or take a penny depending upon your requirements at the end of 2006. Sold a sh!tload and then reduced the price to USD$579K (again give or take a $) for 2007. Imagine the joy of those who paid the USD$619K plus. Raytheon also did similar last year when they flogged C90GTs for around the USD$2.9m. When asked if they had intentions to fit a glass cockpit the answer was a firm NO! Asked if one could be retrofitted, again a firm NO! Guess what. Have a look at the C90GTi. Can go on and on about HB/Raytheon and their pricing structures. Unfortuneately their professionalism leaves a lot to be desired particularly when one compares them to Cessna.
The G36 is still a 62 year old design. Not taking the p!ss about its performance on anything, just pointing out a fact.

"Still looks like a 1940s hairyplane to me"
.... and the A380 and latest Boeings look like 1950's designs to me!
".... until recently - an FTDK. When the V35 was landed on its nose ....."
Walrus - I assume that was VH-FWE. Bloody tragedy. I used to get around NW Qld in that aeroplane in 1974.
".... don't ya think Beech oughta consider a door for the pilot?"
I guess the thing that sets the Bo apart from other similar aircraft is the fact that most pilots don't want to get out of them, hence no need for a pilot's door!
