I agree that the Bonanza will be a handful as a first glow fuel plane. Since you already have flying experience, you'll be a ahead of the game, but flying a gas trainer is a good start. I don't know if your planes have landing gear on them, but you need to learn how to land a gas plane to figure out power management ( and sometimes the dreaded dead-stick landing). Having flown a few electrics, I'm glad that I I have so much time flying power --it was an easy transititon. Get your time in before building the Bonanza. Also, add some triangle stock betweenteh fire wall and fuse - it will make a world of differernce concerning strength.
