Default E-Flite Bonanza

Just finished up the E-Flite Bonanza. Installed the E-Flite electric retracts along wiith the full interior cockpit and aluminum spinner. Assembly was straight forward with an excellent instruction manual. Hope it flies well. Added 1 ounce of lead to the firewall for the correct cg.

Flew the Bonanza today. All was great. It is a very fast plane. I will take out the 1 ounce of weight in the nose. Retracts worked great and flaps really slowed the plane on landing. I am very pleased with the performance of this plane. Good going E-Flite.

I concur. Last winter when my partner Geoff Barber reviewed this plane for RCU, I was the pilot for the in-flight stills and video. It is a VERY nice flier!

Bumping this thread. I'm getting one over the holidays, starting to buy hardware now. This plane looks awesome - saw it a year ago at the LHS, knew I had to make room for it.

Going with a Hacker A30-12L, 11x8.5x3e prop, and considering sequencing gear doors (probably will fly a year first, work on that next winter). Oh, and some lights

And I'll admit, I really like the T-tail better than the V-tail.
