Post #135,084 by tuberculosis 1/12/04 3:51:37 PM Reply	Closer But [link\|http://www.usau.com/USAU.nsf/Doc/BonanzaDataSheet\|this is telling]. Bonanza is over 50 years old and has probably killed more rock starts than drugs (there have been issues with the V-tail). Mooney's cover the speed issue OK, but while the plane may have 4 seats, their useful load isn't so hot and they are PRICEY. Expect to pay $150k and up for a mid-80's plane. The [link\|http://www.airbum.com/pireps/PirepQuestairVenture.html\|Questair Venture] is a nice example of what could be done today with a little thought. Its only a 2-place but it's freakin fast and still fairly roomy inside.
