We travelled down to Spruce Creek Airport in Florida to checkout this 1983 Bonanza B36TC. This plane has sat for around 13 years. The story we were told was that this plane sat under a tree until about a year ago when it was moved to this spot...and for some reason it was washed? We ended up meeting the owner of this plane and he told us the story behind this plane and why it sat for so long. This plane was an awesome find and we can't wait to see what the future holds for it!

[@haleskj]

Great find. However, you only need the fuel pump to prime the engine before start. If the pump is on it's running way too rich. Thus the smoke. Also, that's why it didn't shut down after the 1st start up. Good Luck!

[@robertdmoore2592]

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

Jason that is a fantastic airplane. The interior looked like a time capsule, in brand new condition! It fired right up, much easier than I thought it would, and I assumed it would start easily, just not that easily! What a fantastic purchase.

[@nmoconnors]

Dont change the interior this is so rare and clean just repaint it and semd it off no need to spend money on the looks just the mechanical opponents thanks for the video!

[@kevincozens6837]

That plane looks amazing as it is. It has an amazing set of instrumentation in the panel. Looks like we may be disappointed to find there are no birds nests inside the air frame. At 19:54 there is a sign that says "No acrobatic manuvers approved except those in the flight manual.". Inquiring minds want to know what acrobatic maneuvers are approved. :) One suggestion. Take the previous owner up for a flight after the plane is flying again.

[@Robo-el1ys]

This the best kept plane ive ever seen on this channel.

[@piperpilot72]

Nice Bo! But that elevator looks like it’s loaded with filiform corrosion. (Pin worm pattern). That spinners not legal. (Can’t have a chrome plated spinner). When you do the gear, drop the struts off completely and do the middle seal. If that seal fails the gear possibly partially collapse and take out the wing skin when the gear retracts. It’s smoking because you have the boost pump on. Turn the boost pump off before you start. Youre flooding the engine and that’s why it wouldn’t shut down when you pulled the mixture.

[@MiguelAlejandro1969]

Verte good info. I hope see these.

[@donf3739]

[@quietobserver4636]

Curiosity is killing me. What's story behind the chrome spinner being illegal.

[@tylerp6375]

@@quietobserver4636 I think they are assuming it was unapproved and chromed. If it is FAA-approved it’s totally legal.

[@piperpilot72]

@@quietobserver4636 it causes imbrittalment (weakens the aluminum) and the chrome itself can mask cracks. So having a weakened spinner on a prop going 2700rpm coming off in flight can be a safety issue.

Sweetest plane I ever flew. I was a fairly high time A36 pilot before Alaska and an air taxi service. This model is in a class by its self. Bring i5 up to 135 standards and keep it for life. Dont mess with the avionics. Fly it and fly it some more. Spec the jets and new plugs before flying. Dont forget the brakes and shocks. You might want to cycle the landing gears in the hanger before flying. I personally would want it signed off and cert. before a test flight. I flew the TC B only once but on a long XC with passengers In the system. A dream to fly.

[@lxturtle1898]

I’m the son of Tom, who owned the plane for 39 years & Jason references in the video. First, a genuine thank you to, Jason & Harrison, for an amazing job helping pay homage to and helping my Dad share the story of N34TP. Thank you for honoring him in such an incredible way. As an inventor & engineer, my Dad is the most meticulous & passionate person I’ve ever known. I was 3-years old when my dad bought the plane, so nearly every childhood memory I have is intertwined with “Princess.” (My Mom & Dad named each of their planes.) As I watched Jason & Harrison tell the story of the plane and so many things came rushing back: 1. The sound of the master avionics switch brought me to tears. I haven’t heard that fast clicking sound in 20-years. (Timestamp: 49:09) 2. I can still remember the smell of the fuel, when I stuck the little cup into the test hole during pre-fight checks. 3. The reason the underside of the plane looks so good is because I was the only kid whose Saturday chore was using foaming “Scrubbing Bubbles” to clean the plane’s undercarriage at 7-years old :) One of my favorite stories of flying with my Dad was our trip to Oshkosh in 1989 (or 1990) for the annual airshow. We would camp next to the plane and my dad wanted to get one of the best spots possible. (Those of you who have camped at Oshkosh know just how many rows of planes there are and the long walk each day.) So at 7 or 8 years old, I hopped out of the plane after landing and my dad gave me a handheld walkie-talkie. I was on a mission, I had to find the best spot. I went from row to row while my dad was still taxiing and found it…a spot all the way up in Row 8! I was ecstatic and didn’t pay attention to the orange cone in the middle of the spot. I radioed Dad and told him to taxi up to Row 8. A few minutes later he emerged at the end of the row and I started marshaling him in. As he turned into the spot, he gradually had to give it more power…then more power….then more power….eventually getting it in. (Apparently the orange cone was marking a low-lying area in the grass.) After Dad shut down the engine and popped the door open, a friendly guy emerged from behind the plane and walked up to my dad. He greeted my dad with a friendly “Welcome to Oshkosh! That’s an incredible plane!” My dad, knowing the brotherhood amongst the aviation community replied, “Well thank you! She’s a Bonanza B36TC!” The guy responded back - “Great…now can you come help me put my tent back up?” (Apparently those turbochargers work pretty well!) I’ll find time to add more memories here, but I’m so grateful another pilot will get the opportunity to enjoy what was a major part of my childhood. (Reposted comment at request of Jason)

The days of old steam gauge aviation still need to be appreciated especially in high performance aircraft in my opinion! While everything is prone to failure at a moments notice I’d trust an ole steam gauge way before any electronic device. I believe electronics have their advantages but there’s always an iPad for those tasks. Like was said earlier!, definitely keep the panel. The aviate and navigate part is slowly being turned over to electronics slowly but surely and the two are becoming a lost art with everything the electronics do.
