Hi Jim. Just a question. I've got the 25 M&M on a V35B. How close do they split hairs? Just curious.
Gary,
I can't answer that without calling my agent, which I will try and do next week. Due to my inherent lack of trust in insurance companies I would assume the worst.
Up until last year I owned a 1947 Bonanza which was the first year they were built. I owned that plane for 17 years.
The Beech "model" designation on that plane is a straight "35" - no letter designation of any kind. Fast forward to my 1978 Bonanza and Beech labels it a model "V35B".
While they are both V tail Bonanza's they are two different airplanes both in performance and the way they handle. There's a difference of 1150 lbs. when you compare gross weights.
As a side note, 7 years ago when I bought the '78, my insurance company required I get 10 hours of duel in it before going solo.
I'll let you know what I find out next week.
Jim
