just went on Beech's web site. They are a nice looking machine.
Like the glass cockpit.
Could have one of them.

Now where we those lotto numbers????

Jabawocky 2nd Sep 2007 11:42

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!:uhoh:

Change the rego numbers and they might not notice the split in the tail:}

That'd be 1/2mill US$.

Does it do anything my A36 doesn't do...like polish my knob or something?

Doctor, when you get one can you donate your old one to a charitable cause........ME!!! ;)

"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. :E

In this area, the C210 has it all over the Bonanza!

Here's a photo of a G36 at Oshkosh.

Here's a review on aopa.org.

Base price is about USD 650,000.

SmokingHole 2nd Sep 2007 23:32

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:}

Jabawocky 2nd Sep 2007 23:33

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:eek:.

Yeah, A$1M is what I have told the Missus to deduct from any Lotto win!
I figure she's getting a bargain - I used to go on about a TBM850!

The G36 price was reduced by 14% in January this year, equivalent to 80 or 90 thousand US. But still s big pile of money

squawk6969 3rd Sep 2007 01:43

Go the PC-12:ok:

Hang the expense, work will pay the rest:}......perhaps:uhoh:

If you purchase the new Cirrus Jet for $1 Mil you will be able to get your polishing over alot quicker @ 300 Knots ! :eek:

tinpis 3rd Sep 2007 02:52

Still looks like a 1940s hairyplane to me.

Walrus 7 3rd Sep 2007 03:07

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!

After 60 years of Bonanza production, don't ya think Beech oughta consider a door for the pilot?:8

Jabawocky 3rd Sep 2007 04:08

For a Million Bucks I would want a door!

My Machine has 3 doors and it did not cost anywhere near that much brand new!

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! :ok:
