Key price factors: engine time to overhaul, year and airframe hours, avionics, damage history and logbook completeness — see the buying guide below for the full pre-purchase checklist.

Buying a Used Beechcraft Bonanza 35

Every Beechcraft Bonanza 35 faces a mandatory 1,700-hour overhaul, so the single biggest factor in used price is how much time remains before that overhaul is due.

What to check before buying

  • Time to overhaul — hours and years remaining to the 1,700-hour limit; this dominates resale value more than total time.
  • Logbook completeness — continuous, gap-free maintenance records; missing logs cut value and complicate financing.
  • Damage history — any prior accident, hard landing or blade strike; cross-check the registration against accident databases.
  • Avionics — a glass panel vs steam gauges materially changes price.
  • Pre-buy inspection — always commission an independent inspection by a type-experienced mechanic before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions — Beechcraft Bonanza 35

What is the V-tail Bonanza?
The V-tail Bonanza is the Beechcraft Model 35, the original Bonanza built from 1947 to 1982. Its distinctive V-shaped tail uses two surfaces called ruddervators that combine the functions of rudder and elevator, instead of a conventional three-surface tail.
What are the Bonanza 35 variants?
The Model 35 ran through many letters, from the early Model 35, A35 and C35 to the later S35, V35, V35A and the final V35B. All are V-tail single-engine pistons; later models added more power and a longer cabin.
How much does a V-tail Bonanza cost?
Early V-tail Model 35s are generally the lowest-cost way into the Bonanza family, with later V35B models commanding more. Prices depend on engine time, avionics and AD compliance. See the live price range and median above.
What is the Bonanza 35 cruise speed?
The Model 35 cruises around 175 knots depending on variant and engine; later V35 and V35B models are among the faster ones.
Are there airworthiness directives specific to the V-tail Bonanza?
Yes. The V-tail Model 35 carries tail-attachment and wing-spar airworthiness directives that must be kept current. A clean AD record is a key check when buying a V-tail.
What does BE35 mean?
BE35 is the type designation for the Beechcraft Model 35 V-tail Bonanza, covering the full run from the 1947 Model 35 through the V35B.
How many seats does the V-tail Bonanza have?
Four to five, depending on variant and interior; later long-cabin models such as the V35B are roomier than the early aircraft.
Is the V-tail Bonanza safe?
When properly maintained and with its tail and spar airworthiness directives current, the V-tail Bonanza's record is consistent with other high-performance singles. Maintenance, AD compliance and pilot proficiency are the key factors.
