First run in 1963 as a development of the IO-346, it has been produced in versions incorporating fuel injection (IO-520), turbo-charging (TSIO-520), and gearing (GTSIO-520). Time Since Major Overhaul SMOH: 1280 (airplane is being regularly flown - so may be slightly higher) Runs strong; regularly exercised & regularly flown Smooth starts and clean operation

3-Blade Hartzell - recent installation
Interior
Blue/white seating - brand new! *Note on 6 seat option: It is our understanding for the S35, Beechcraft introduced a longer cabin specifically to allow for optional 5th and 6th seats. These were commonly called 'Family Seats" situated in the aft baggage area and facing forward. These were designed primarily for Children, Small Adults and Occasional use. These were not equivalent to the full six-seat cabin found in the A-36 Bonanza. If the airplane originally had 4 seats, a mechanic can add the rear seats using: • approved Beech kit • STC seat installation • additional seat belts • revised weight & balance Sometimes the STC is simply the approval for installing additional lap belts and seat brackets. This information comes from a number of sources and should be verified to buyer's own satisfaction. Seller assumes no responsibility in this regard.
Exterior
Excellent exterior paint with classic red/white/blue scheme. Beautiful patriotic paint scheme with high-gloss finish. Good glass. Presents very well in person.
Modifications / STCs
• Wingtip lighting - LED landing lights
• Overhead fresh-air ventilation
