The past 15 months for the Ameri can
Bonanza Society has been a peri od of
getting our house in order. The majority
of th e staft's efforts and a larg e portion
of the Society's resources have been
devoted to providing the Society with
the tools to go forward into the future.
The move to Wichita had to be
accomplished, a new staff had to be
hired and trained, a permanent
headquarters designed, built, furnished
and put into operation. The Newsletter
required work both in format and
content. And, oh yes, your new
Executive Director had to learn the in's
and out's of operating an association,
which is a truly unique business. This
education continues every day .
Occasionally mistakes are made, but
always lessons learned.
Now all the tools are ready and it is
time to proceed with some new projects
that will provide a wider range of
services than have ever been available
to members before.
First on the list of new endeavors is
the Bonanza Pilot Checkout Program,
which will be introduced in the spring.
This program will give every Bonanza
pilot the opportunity to receive an
indepth training program similar to the
BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY
Dear ABS:
On a recent trip to Tulsa, Oklahoma I
had the unfortunate luck that all pilots
have from time to time and was
weathered out of my intended
destination . I landed in McAl ester,
Oklahoma, and to my good fortune,
stopped at Henley Air, Inc .
As it was very important that I keep
my business appointment and it was
late and no rental transportation was
available, Mr. Henley went out of his
way to be understanding and solved my
problem by giving me the use of his
personal automobile for as long as I
needed it.
I feel that this sort of service is
above and beyond the call of duty and
certainly worth a mention to our
membership.

Floats & Fuel Cells, Inc. , 2845
Hangar Road, Memphis, Tenn. 38118,

programs av,ailalble
operators of large corporate aircraft. It
is the most ambitious project ever taken
on by an aviation organization of our
size and scope. It should prove to be a
major contribution to aviation safety.
Later in 1983 the ABS plans to
introduce audio visual programs in Beta
and VH S format. These programs will
be directed specifically at Bonanza
maintenance and fl ight procedures.
Gradually during 1983 your Society
will introduce a limited line of
commercial products such as binders,
patches, hats, jackets, ties, and jewelry;
all bearing the ABS logo. This is being
done in response to requests for such
products from members.
The ASS will have a hospitality tent
for the exclusive use of Society
members at the EAA fly-in at Oshkosh,
Wi sconsin . This will give members a
place to rest, get a soft drink, leave
packages, share AB S fellowship and
get a break from the press of the huge
crowds that attend this event each
year.
Established ABS services will also
get attention. The Newsletter is
scheduled to see two new series of
articles. The first is ongoing articles
developed by Airmanship on flying the
Bonanza. The ASS staff is also
developing a series on Bonanza Annual
Inspections.
The Service Clinic Program is
scheduled to be expanded, provided
qualified personnel can be found to
operate these cli nics.
So 1983 should be a banner year for
the Society . There is one piece of old
business that still must be attended to.
Even though the building is completed.
the org anization has not fully recovered
from the large financial burden that was
placed upon it to carry out the building
program. Donations are still $3 5,000
short of offsetting costs. So each
member is asked to make a tax
deductible contribution to the ASS/ ASF
Building Fund. If we are to proceed
with all our programs we must be
financially secure.
It's yo ur headquarters, your
Newsletter, your programs, your
Society. The organization needs your
help.
Let's all of us be careful up there.

35'S SLOW FLAP OPERATION
Dear Norm:
The flap motor on my Straight 35,
S I N 0· 13 13 , has developed a " flat"
spot (or so I'm told), and it is in need of
replacement/ repair.
Considering the extremely long
extension and retraction time of this
model, is it possible to install a flap
motor which will decrease these
extension and retraction times It so,

ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS -
V-35B
Oear Norm:
I have a 1977 V-35S, S I N 10063,
with a few cranky electrical problems.
1) In the August issue there was a
discussion of a repair to a G-33
subpanel lighting system. Is my system
the same I have replaced the
transistor and potentiometer.
Occasionally I when rheostat is run all
lhe way up, the panel will lighl up
briefly lhen go out. If th e sysl em is the
same 400 cycle, should I replace the
inverter next
2) The tesl circuit of the three green
position lights fails to light ri ght main
gear light, yet when the gear is put
down all is green. Should I suspect th e
right gear-down position switch Does it
have dual pOints, one for down position
and one for up (test position)
3) Left fuel gauge often fails to
indicate. In analyzing the circuit I
understand th e two sending units
" leak" a smaller or greater amount of
current to ground (they are in series),
thereby giving the graduated mading.
(When inboard sender is disconnected
gauge deflection is severe·to-full.) I
have checked contacts on back of the
gauge and at fu se buss. Should I
suspect a bad gauge
4) Right fuel gauge upon reaching
1/ 2 to 5 / 8 begins to flick to full
sharply until gauge reading gets below
1/ 2, then it settles down. I suspect
poor winding contact on one of the two
sending units. The inboard unit was
replaced under warranty for the same
problem and was okay for about a year.
Should I zero in on the inboard gauge
again
These little electrical problems are
very annoying, and I would like your
comments before I start replacing parts
on a trial / error basis.
5) Grease level in gearbox - I seem
to remember many issues ago a
discussion of grease leakage due to
overfilling. At our last annual my IA said
the box required grease. Since then
grease is leaking through the belly
drain holes. Yet, a careful inspection of
the bottom seal shows no seepage at
all. Is there a seal at both the motor
mounting and the hand crank shaft I
have lowered my main struts due to
removing the step. Could that cause the
box grease to leak out of the crank
seal or a vent hole if it is overfilled
Enjoy your column very much -
keep up the good work.
Roy N. Foxworthy
ASS # 41 34
Dear Mr. Foxworthy:
The most logical source of trouble in
the panel lighting system is the inverter.
It should be replaced. The inverter most
likely is producing too much power,
thus blowing a transistor in the system.
The landing gear test circuit most
likely has a blown diode since th e
trouble seems confined to the test
circuit. Yes, the circuit has dual points.
The most logical source of trouble in
your fuel gauging circuit is th e printed
circuit board. These PC boards are
located above the fuel gauges and
att ach to the instrument panel flange. If
only one tank is giving trouble, switch
PC board s to see if the trouble moves.
PC boards have been improved, so new
boards should be more reliable.
When landing gear gearboxes are
overfilled with grease the surplus
grease works oul the emergency gear
handle seal. Due to overfilling there
also may be some leakage out the vent
hole on the top side of the gearbox.
Fluid level in the gearbox should only
be high enough for the worm gear to
pick up lubricant. This can be observed
through the filler hole. Only correct
lubricant (Mobile #626) should be
used in th e gearbox. The gearbox
spline shaft which runs through th e
gearbox is sealed at top and bottom by
Garlock seals. Any leak at these pOints
would be unusual and obvious. If the
seals are leaking, seal replacement
would be necessary. It appears that
your trouble is a simple case of
overfilling, and I would Question with
what kind of grease. Strut inflation has
nothing to do with the leakage.
Dear Mr. Sullivan:
The flap motor in your Bonanza is
considerably different than in
later-model Bonanzas, so there is
nothing that can be done to speed up
flap movement. It wouldn't hurt to
check the electrical circuit for high
resistance; but on your model Bonanza,
flap speed is just slow.
SOUND INSULATION FOR
ENGINE COWLING
Dear Norm:
I have two items for discussion!
In the May , 1982 issue you wrote to
apply " Vaporite 550" for insulation.
The product is manufactured by the
Anderson Pritchard Oil Company. I
called Beechcraft West; and, after
calling the factory, th ey advise me it is
not available. Would you please give
me an address for Pritchard I have
another supplier who may be able to
obtain it for me. What else would you
recommend be applied to the underside
of th e cowling for noise reduction
I have been reading aboul the
importance of keeping the gyro
pressure pump inline filter clean. Mine
turns black in 25 hours use (V·35A). I
get the feeling the pump is wearing
rapidly. Is this normal
The ASS Newsletters are fantasti c! I
praise and tell every Bonanza owner I
meet to join.
Stanley C. Meyer
ASS "'3001
Dear Mr. Meyer:
Vaporite 500 would not be good
malerial for the underside of the engine
cowl. Engine heat might cause it to
melt.
I feel it would be a waste of time to
insulate the cowl since that does not
cause noise in th e cabin. If the cowl
doors were to be insulated, I would use
Scotch Foam Y·370, which is a 3M
product.
The bulk of noise in the cabin comes
through the windshield and side
windows. Some noise comes through
the side fuselage skin between the
firewall and door post.

It sounds as if your instrument air
pump is wearing. It is important to use
th e new pleated-type instrument
induction air filter and to replace the
inline filter on a regular basis. It helps
to install an air blast tube to cool the
pump . The pump vanes are made of
carbon and run dry and hot, so they do
sluff off. The black you see is on the
pressure relief valve and is norm al.
H-35 CABIN NOISE LEVEL
Dear Norm :
l awn a 1957 H-35 Bonanza. The
engine noise level in the cabin is very
high, especially when compared to the
S and later model Bonanzas which I fly
regularly . New mufflers and Beryl
D'Shannon exhaust pipe extenders
have not improved the situation
appreciably. Even the exhaust manifold
gaskets were replaced to no avail.
Could you please advise as to wh at
type of soundproofing materials could
be used, along with installation
instructions and where in the air frame
soundproofing would be most effecti ve
Ron Saglimbene
ABS # 13335
Dear Mr. Saglimbene:
The primary source of cabin noise
comes through the windshield and side
cabin windows. Replacing the
windshield and windows with thicker
glass is th e easiest way to lower noise
level.
3M Products makes a sound
deadener called, ·'Scotch Foam Y-370··.
This is a self-adhesive foam in sheet
form . GT Sales and Manufacturing at
220 2 South West Street, Wichita,
Kansas 67203, 3 16 / 943-2171 , stocks
this material along with other sound
deadeners. The firewall and cabin side
panels forward of the firewall require
the most deadener. The belly skins
below the floorboard s take a black
spray-on sound deadener; however,
factory installed material in this area
should be adequate.
Be sure the exhaust stacks clear the
fuselage structure in the cowl flap well.
And , remember, in cruise the engine
cants to the left about 3 / 8 inch .
Skin canning in flight can make a
terrible noise, so be sure that
somethIng other than normal engine
and propeller sound is not contributing
to cabin sound.
SECOND INSTRUMENT PUMP
ADDITION TO DEBONAIR
Dear Norm:
I have a few questions concerning
our 1960 Debonair (CD-1 20):
1) Is it possible to install a second
vacuum pump on the spare accessory
pad on the 10-470 I want to have this
pump drive a second and separate
horizon rather than tie it into th e
existing horizon. An y ideas
2) Both main fuel gauges show full
when the tanks are full , but after using
either tank for a short period (20 - 30
min) the indicator goes down to 1/ 2 to
1/ 4. Cycling the gauge selector switch
from left to right sometimes helps, but
not usually .
3) I would like to replace the existing
mixture control to a vernier type and
need to know where to get one. Al so ,
how long is the cable - as I see them
adverti sed with varying cable lengths
4) Where can I get a copy of the
book, " Those Incomparable
Bonanzas"
S. P. Simpson
ABS # 15346
Dear Mr. Simpson :
I can see no reason why a second
pump could not be added. At the
moment, I do not know of such an
installation; so you would have to work
out th e plumbing details (which should
not be a big deal) and either obtain an
STC approval or obtain a one-time FAA
approval.
You can purchase a throttle vernier
control from any Beechcraft dealer. I
think Part # 35-944046-1, which fits a
Model M-35 Bonanza, will work. I do
not have access to cable lengths.
Write to Larry Ball , 8529 Chapel
Glen Drive, Indianapolis, Indiana 46234,
to request one of his books.
VACUUM PUMP FAILURES
Dear Norm:
During the past several months,
there have been many articles in
various trade publications regarding
vacuum pump failure during IFR fli ght.
I'm now a " nervous believer".
I would like to install a vacuum
failure warning light or horn on an
F-35, but our local Beech facility does
not know how to proceed. To your
knowledge, can this be accomplished
D. W. Wennberg
AB S # 11 64 3
Dear Mr. Wennberg:
This is in reply to your letter in which
you talked about vacuum pumps.
I think that most of the talk you have
been hearing about instrument air pump
failures are related to the dry
instrument air pressu re pumps.
Your instrument air pump is a wet
vacuum pump which is intern ally
lubricated and will norm ally run trouble
free between engine overhauls. Like
anything mechanical there is always the
possibility of failure but from past
service experience, it is remote.
A light or horn could be hooked into
the system, by installing a pressure
switch, but pressure switches give
trouble, too and I really believe they
would not accomplish what you want,
because when pumps fail , the drive
shaft shears and the pump stops
without warning.
I feel that your fears are unfounded.
Just be sure that the vacuum pump is
overh auled at engine overhaul.
Thank you for writing.
FUEL VENT SYSTEM IN A
TRAVEL AIR
Dear Norm:
I have read several incidents recently
on problems with the Bonanza fu el
venting tubes. Since my Travel Air is
very similar to a Bonanza in many
aspects, I am concerned that the fuel
venting tu bes are not positioned in the
proper angle nor extend from the base
of the wing the proper length to give
proper venting per article, " Damage to
Venting System", page 1243, October
Newsletter).
Nowhere in either my maintenance or
parts manual are there any indications
on the length or angle that these vent
tu bes should take. If there is any
inform ation you can provide me, I would
appreciate it very much.
Clifton M. Buell
ABS # 14983
Dear Mr. Buell:
Fuel vents in your Travel Air should
protrude below the wing or fuselage
one-and-three-quarter inches and
should be bent forward ten degrees .
The end of the tube should be
champhered at 45 degrees. Vent tubes
have a small ice-free vent hole drilled
through the back side of the vent tube.
When bending th e vent, always bend
the tube below this vent hole.
It is a good idea to occasionally
apply low pressure air to the vent tubes
to be sure they are free of internal
obstructions. Always remove the fuel
caps before applying compressed air to
the vent tubes.
OIL COOLER ON MODEL 35
BONANZA
Dear Norm:
I have a question regarding repair (or
rebuilding) of the E-series oil radiator
used on SI N 0-11 17 and later. Since
Beech can no longer supply this part, I
am wondering if you could put us in
touch with the original manufacturer. I
would like to obtain a new radiator only
(not inc luding tank) for welding into our
existing tank.
We have a leak at present involving
only one of the radiator tubes. It is a
simple-enough matter to plug oft one or
two tubes: however, if one tube is
corroded through, several others may
not be far from failing.
Our problem is not urgent. This is a
spare tank which we purchased several
years ago as part of a run out E-225.
The leak was not discovered until 1

installed the newly-overh auled engine in
our 3 5, N4560V.
Now a second questi on: We also
operate a second Bonanza, SI N 0-911 ,
N3705N, formerty owned by Mr. Russelt
Rink . This, of course , has the original
firewall-mounted tank and radiator. On
this airplane we have a problem with
high oil temperature. We had planned
to Instalt on this airplane the later-type
oil radiator in hopes of lowering the oil
temperature. Do you think th at such a
change would accomplish the desired
result
Always enjoy your column.
Lewis C. Criley
ABS #3497
Dear Mr. Criley:
The radiator and oil tank were built
by Beech. It is not uncommon for one
or more tubes to leak: however, several
can be plugged without imparing
cooling capacity. The oil cooler and
lank were coated with slushing
compound at the time of manufacture to
protect the inner radiator tubes and
tank, so your best bet is to repair this
tank.
The tank from the E-225 series
engine could be used with FAA
approval, but it wou ld entail
considerable modification of the rear
engine baffle.
Now, for Bonanza SI N 0 -9 11 : there
is always the possibility that the oil
cooler needs to be cleaned. Soak it in
solvent and slosh the solvent good.
There is a possibility that the engine
sump pump is worn and is not returning
oil to the cooler at a rapid rate. There
is also the possibility that the pump is
not the high capacity. The high
capacity pump gears have eight teeth
per gear; the standard has six.
FUEL GAUGING SYSTEM
PROBLEMS
Oear Norm :
Our fuel gauges are acting up.
Sometimes they work - partially,
sometimes - not at all. I've searched
the Newsletter for an article on where
to start first. I suspect it is the sensing
element in the tanks, but I don't want to
pull them out if that's not the first place
to investigate. I've talked with several
A&Ps, but no one has a hint on how to
diagnose the problem. Are float units
available for older Bonanzas like my
J-Model Is there a way to test whether
or not that's the problem Someone
should have had this problem before
and developed an optimum procedure.
"m amazed the Newslett er has no
listing in the Index . Thi s is not a real
serious matter, as I can fly by time; but
I would like to get the system working If
it is not too expensive.
James D. Johnson
ABS #1731
Dear Mr. Johnson:
First, is the fuel gauge for both tanks
erratic Are the connections loose or
corroded Poor ground connections are
frequently the cause of erratic
operations. Remove the fuel caps and
physically lift the transmitter floats. If
the fu el gauge does not respond, hook
a meter to the transmitter and measure
the resistance. If the transmitters are
defective, they must be replaced by a
different brand; and thi s requires a kit
which requires some rewiring.
Next, check the bottom tank to see
that there are no wrinkles to interfere
with the float.
BRITIAIN TIP TANK
DRAINS/ FUEL FUMES IN
CABIN
Dear Norm:
I have an H-35 with Brittain tip tanks.
The dump drains need replacing, and
I cannot find them - even though they
were Beech approval. Can you help me
locate a pair Or, was there a Directive
saying they could be plugged due to
having a central drain
I have also been getting gas fumes
when in a left turn or using fu el from
the right wing. The selector has been
checked and no stains show under the
wing nor spills on the floor.
Walter C. Harbeck
ABS #1 3 152
Dear Mr. Harbeck:
Osborne Tank Company, Star Route,
Box 12, Oro Grande, California 92368,
is currently building the Brittain tank.
They are the most logical source of
parts.
There is no set pattern for gas fumes.
8 e sure the tank fuel vents are open
and that they point forward. It would be
well to look inside the fuel well,
especially where the main fuel line exits
the tank. There is a 90-degree fitting in
th e fu el tank vent line, located at the
forward end of the root rib. This fitting
is out of sight but is adjacent to the
wing fresh air duct. If this fitting is
seeping, you would get fumes in the
cabin. Unfortunately, the only way to
inspect it or fix it is to pull the wing. It
is not good to have fuel leaks; but
should it be this fitting, a slight seepage
would not be dangerous.
OPERATION OF 10-520-BA
BEYOND RECOMMENDED TBO
TIME
Dear Norm:
The engine in 7985M is still purring
- using approximately one quart of
AeroShell W-50 wt oil per six hours,
maintaining compression readings in
th e low-to-mid seventies on all cylinders
(a s checked during annual inspection
earli er this month) and is leak free as it
passes the 1 ,400 hour-since-new point.
My local Beech service people have
hinted that I should be thinking about
majoring the engine pretty soon. I have
been under th e impression that the
TBO on the IO-520-BA Teledyne
Continental Engine is now 1,700 hours
- having been raised from 1,500
hours by the manufacturer last year.
With th e awareness that these are
" recommended " times and not
intended to be taken as absolute, I
persist in the view that this engine will
require majoring when it begins to
display the symptoms that warrant the
turn around: excessive oil consumption,
rough running, leaks, etc . Of course, if
the bloody thing decides to cease
performing suddenly - without being
considerate enough to exhibit
symptoms, then I guess the laugh and
the dead sti ck landing will be on me.
Foolishness aside, I would like to
hear some sincere comments and
remarks relating to engine turn around
time and also the names of some
reputable rebuild shops.
G. B. Ross
ABS #12144
Dear Mr. Ross:
In this case, Continental Motors has
recommended that their engines be
overhauled at 1,700 hours. This is a
conservative figure, based on the
experience of inspecting a number of
run-out engines. I'm sure experience
has shown that at 1,700 hours the bulk
of the engine components show a
minimum of wear, which means that in
most cases the engine could be run
longer. However, it must be
remembered that fuel pumps, oil pumps,
generators and vacuum pumps also
run beyond the recommended TBO.
Once an engine is run beyond TBO,
parts wear accelerates; so it may
require more part replacements when it
is overhauled.
Where the engine is flown makes a
difference; so there are lots of variables.
If you should elect to go beyond
1,700 hours TBO, it would be wise to
use oil analysis which would forewarn
of upcoming wear or part failure.

ECONOMICAL LORAN C
Dear ABS :
With th e increasing interest in the
use of Loran C in aircraft came a
special project that became very
exciting to me. As the price of aircraft
Loran units is around S8,000.00, we
decided to try a marine unit. The unit
we chose was a II Morrow Model
502BR, which works very well in an
aircraft according to the manufacturer.
At $1 ,695.00, it represents quite a
savings even though it is not to be
used for primary navigation in an
aircraft. It does make an affordable VFR
substitute DME and RNA V .
The wood floor in the Bonanza is the
perfect place to mount the temporary
mounting rack. The rack folds down flat
when the Loran is not in place. The
power is acquired from the cigarette
lighter jack. The antenna used with this
unit is a standard stainless steel
communications whip that has been
around for years.
The installation was done for Mr.
Don Schiff, ABS # 11753, in his C-33A.
We flew the unit and compared the
readings with his permanently installed
equipment. The accuracy and
performance was incredible. The 48
waypoints can be recorded in the
storage by latitude / longitude (from
published data), or by flying over them
and entering the position at that time.
The unit reads bearing and distance to
a waypoint, your ground track in
degrees magnetic, your ground speed
and your time to the way point. Due to
the physical size of the unit the floor
mounting in the Bonanza is necessary.
Visibility and availability while flying is
very adequate.
Until the Loran C units become more
affordable the marine units offer a very
inexpensive alternative for the VFR pilot
that likes bells and whistles.

INADVERTENT RETRACTIONS
Dear ABS:
Your comments on inadvertent
retrac tion s in the October Newsletter
brought to mind some thing s I have
learned .
It has long been said that there are
only two types of pilots - those who
have landed wheels up and those who
will. I am a " who have" type; an
inadvertent wheels instead of flaps.
I have a J Model - it has a bank of
piano hinge switches that includes the
landing gear and flaps. The flaps can
•
be retracted with the index finger while
the wheels takes two or more fingers
(this " trick of the trade" was published
in the Newsletter four or five years ago).
So, for those of us who have the
earlier aircraft with the similar switch
problem this should be a back up
safety procedure:
1) Get off the runway and stop
before retracting flaps.
2) Use only the index finger to
retract th e fl aps.
Thi s discussion of flap switch
operation reminds me of another
problem I experienced. I had just about
given up using flaps on landing. I bled
them down on base and final but
invariably when I went to stop their
down travel I moved the switch thru the
off position to the up position . On short
final I found myself screwing around
with the flaps instead of flying the
airplane.
Recently I flew in the right seat of
my aircraft following some work on the
autopilot. The test pilot ran the flaps
down about half way and stopped their
down travel by returning the flap switch
to the off position, but with a difference.
He had slipped his thumb half over on
the next switch so that when he moved
th e flap switch back up he stopped it
on line with the other switches. What a
simple tri ck - but what a good one. I
now use flaps.
One other landing gear reminder that
seems worthwhile. I have mounted on
the deck above my instrument panel a
red light, hooked in parallel with the
gear warning horn. It is at eye level (or
as near as it can be without being on
the windshield). It is bright - it flashes
whenever the gear warning horn blows.
So now when I land wheels up I'll have
to ignore both the horn and a flashing
red light mounted directly in my line of
sight (I am sure it can be ignored but it
will be harder th an with the horn alone).

BONANZA PILOT CHECKOUT PROGRAM TO BEGIN IN SPRING 1983
A review of accident and incident
reports over the past few years
indicates that approximately 20% of the
Bonanza occurances might have been
prevented if the pilot had a thorough
knowledge of his Bonanza's systems
and/ or had received a proper checkout
by an experi enced Bonanza instructor.
Because of this and many members
desires to learn more about flying their
aircraft, the ABS Air Safety Foundation
Directors have voted to institute a
BONANZA PILOT CHECKOUT
PROGRAM. This program will consist of
approximately 8 hours of classroom
instruction and 4 hours of flight
instructi on all centered specifically on
Bonanza aircraft.
Every effort is being made to make
this course affordable by every
Bonanza owner and by presenting the
program at various times and locations
around the country should make it
available to all interested pilots.
To make this program the finest
course of instruction ever offered on a
single engine aircraft ABS/ ASF needs
the members help. First, let your
Society know what areas your
experience has shown would be
inportant to include in the curriculum.
Secondly, members are requested to
pass on the names and addresses of
any flight instructors that they know
have a lot of Bonanza experience. The
people will then be contacted to see if
they are qualified and interested in
participating in the program.
The first program should be offered
this spring. Watch your newsletter for
further details.
