1969 BEECH A 36 BONANZA, IO 520BA WITH ONLY 178 SMOH, GEAR UP ON GRASS, LITE DAMAGE, CHEAP !!THE A.
Item specifics
| Condition: | Used |
THE A-36 IS THE BEST ALL AROUND AIRPLANE OF THE BONANZA LINE.
10" STRETCH IN FUSELAGE OVER THE V-TAIL OR DEBONAIR STRAIGHT TAILS, ADDS A DOUBLE BARN DOOR FOR ACCESS TO THE LARGE REAR CABIN, AND SPACE FOR 6 SEATS (ONLY 4 INSTALLED IN THIS AIRPLANE)
THE STRAIGHT TAIL GIVES DOCILE AND PREDICTABLE HANDLING WITHOUT TAIL WAG, AND THE STABILITY IN THE AIR IS LEGENDARY !1
THIS AIRPLANE SUFFERED DAMAGE WHEN IT LANDED GEAR UP, OFF AIRPORT, IN A MUDDY FIELD, AFTER A SUSPECTED FUEL EXHAUSTION
THE COOL THING IS HOW LITTLE DAMAGE WAS SUSTAINED TO THE BELLY AS A RESULT OF THE LANDING SURFACE !!
IT IS ALMOST LIKE THE AIRPLANE LANDED ON PROTECTIVE FOAM !1
THE NOSE GEAR DOORS SUSTAINED DAMAGE, BUT THE AREA AROUND THE DOORS IS NOT GROUND DOWN LIKE THE AVERAGE GEAR UP !!
THE SAME IS TRUE FOR THE LOWER NOSE BOWL, WHICH ALSO APPEARS UNDAMAGED
BOTH EXHAUST PIPES ARE SCRAPED UP AND CRUSHED FROM THE IMPACT, AND THE RECESSES WHERE THEY RIDE MAY HAVE SOME SMALL WRINKLES
BOTH COWL FLAPS ALSO HAVE SOME DAMAGE
THE BELLY LOOKS VERY GOOD !!
ALMOST UNDAMAGED, WITH MOSTLY SMALL DENTS AND SCRAPES, AND CERTAINLY NOT THE NORMAL DESTROYED SKINS AND BULKHEADS/STRINGERS YOU WOULD SEE FROM A TRADITIONAL GEAR-UP !
2 ANTENNAS WERE RIPPED OFF, SO THERE IS SOME DAMAGE IN THESE AREAS, AND THE FUSELAGE NEAR THE STEP
THE GEAR WAS TUCKED UP INTO THE WELLS, SO NEITHER THE WINGS NOR THE GEAR, OR THE INNER AND OUTER GEAR DOORS WERE DAMAGED !!
IN LIFTING THE AIRPLANE UP FOR RETRIEVAL, SOMEONE MADE THE CLASSIC MISTAKE, AND LIFTED UNDER THE FLAPS, WHICH OF COURSE CANT HOLD THE WEIGHT, SO BOTH FLAPS HAVE DENTING ON THE TOP SIDES FROM OVER-STRESS UPWARDS .
DURING RETRIEVAL/ DISASSEMBLY/TRANSPORTATION, THE VERY TIP AT THE INBOARD LEADING EDGE OF THE WINGS GOT SLIGHTLY DENTED AND THERE ARE A FEW SMALL HANDLING SCRAPES IN ONE WING SKIN.
THATS ALL WE COULD FIND !!
THE PROP IS BENT ON BOTH BLADES, (MORE ON ONE SIDE THAN THE OTHER, CONSISTENT WITH BEING DRAGGED), BUT THE SPINNER IS OK
THE LOW TIME IO-520BA ENGINE WILL REQUIRE INSPECTION, BUT IS VERY LIKELY FINE, AS THE ENGINE WAS NOT UNDER POWER AT THE TIME OF STRIKE, AND WILL NOT REQUIRE AN OVERHAUL. THE CASE WAS JUST REPLACED (DUE TO A CRACK, NOT A PROP STRIKE) 32 HOURS AGO, AND THE ENGINE WAS GONE THROUGH, ALMOST LIKE ANOTHER MAJOR, ONLY 32 HOURS AGO IN 2014
THE AIRFRAME TOTAL TIME IS 7017 SINCE NEW
INSIDE THE 4 CLOTH SEATS ARE OK, BUT HAVE ACCUMULATED STAINING DURING THE RECOVERY/STORAGE PROCESS, AND SHOULD BE CLEANED OR UPDATED
TRAYS ARE INCLUDED AND WIRED FOR A GARMIN 430 AND TRANSPONDER, AS WELL AS A NARCO SECONDARY STACK, BUT THE AVIONICS THEMSELVES ARE NOT INCLUDED HERE.
THE TURN CO-ORDINATOR AND WIRING ARE NOT INCLUDED, SORRY.
EQUIPPED WITH STROBES, GOOD TINTED GLASS, AND ALL MODERN INSTRUMENTATION, OF COURSE.
DISASSEMBLED AS SHOWN, AND LOCATED IN A STORAGE HANGER SOUTH OF DALLES, TEXAS, IN WAXAHATCHIE.
WE WILL PROVIDE STORAGE AT NO CHARGE FOR 30 DAYS FROM THE END OF THE AUCTION, AND MORE TIME IS AVAILABLE IF YOU DESIRE IT.
SOLD WITH FAA BILL OF SALE AND AIRFRAME, ENGINE AND PROP LOGBOOKS, PLUS ADDITIONAL PAPERWORK.
THIS AIRPLANE WILL REPAIR EASILY, AND WILL SURELY BE THE LEAST EXPENSIVE A-36 YOU COULD EVER FLY !!
DON"T SETTLE FOR LESS AIRPLANE, GET WHAT YOU REALLY WANT, AT A GREAT PRICE !!
GOOD BIDDING !!
