Good Morning Steven,
It is possible that it could have had one of those generic Beechcraft plates
that were about ten inches long and an inch high. I doubt it, but it is
possible.
There may well have been something such as a 225 emblem installed in the many
years since that airplane was built, but it definitely DID NOT have a 225
emblem installed at the factory.
If he is trying to bring that aircraft's appearance back to the original,
leave the emblems off.
Incidentally, when the factory did start to apply vanity plates on the side
of the cowling, there were many complaints from customers and they were
occasionally left off at customer request.
On top of that, all of the speed mod folks removed them as part of the
general clean up of the airplane.
If your friend wants to advertise on the side of his airplane, why doesn't he
get an artistic sign painter to apply some appropriate art indication. Beech
did variances on that theme several times over the years. Many of those look
quite nice.
Happy Skies,
Old Bob

Thanks for the info, my friend knows that the C model did not have the 225
or the emblem. There is an outline of the logo that was in place with the
larege V in the middle. However, he likes the logo and wants to put it on
his bird. Since he has mechaniced on planes for about 50 years and this is
the third Vtail he personally has restored from ground up (not including
working on many Beechcraft for others.) and he is helping me with mine, I am
going to help him get an emblem. He knows the pluses and minuses and simply
wants to build himself a nice plane, the way he wants it. He is not going
for original at all so it is not a restoration but rather a rebuild.
The C model that he is currently rebuilding was very damaged in a gear up
landing and taken apart for storage 25+ years ago. He rescued it from being
sent to a salvage yard a couple of years ago. He currently has it all
stripped and is doing a rebuild from ground up. He will paint the plane
while disassembled. He has added a 3rd window, long, and a speed slope
windshield (since he had one) and has rebuilt an instrument panel out of a
wrecked 1999 A36. He is doing many upgrades from later models. It will be a
really nice bird when he is done but far from original.
Thanks for the feedback. I don't plan on putting the logo on my plane.
Everything that can be done to get extra speed is for the good and I kind of
like slowly going back to original, though my 48 model has a speed slope
winshield, and small 3rd window.). In fact, I will be replacing a HUGE
"Ram's Horn" antenna with a smaller set of antennas when I get around to it.
I am interested in looking somewhat original but I don't want to step
backward in performance. Besides It is all I can do to try to get my bird
back in the air.
Blue Skies
Steve D

Good Afternoon Steven,
Sounds good to me!
May I make a couple of suggestions?
I would try not to put any bigger third window in than that which you have.
The small third window gives about eighty percent as much visibility as does
the big one. The big one requires structural changes to the fuselage which
does change the stress distribution on the structure. I think it is
inadvisable to mess with that tail assembly any more than is absolutely
necessary. Not only that, the big window weighs more than the one you have.
Why give up payload for no good reason?
You mention your desire to get rid of the large Rams Head antenna. You also
stated you are working slowly toward a more original look.
Consider that there was no VOR available when your airplane was built. A VHF
navigational antenna was NOT a standard piece of equipment. There were a few
that came from the factory with VAR and ILS receivers. That did require a V
style antenna at that time and many Bonanzas did sport some of the big WWII
rams horn type antennas. Your's may have been one of those.
Nevertheless, I would recommend that you go to the 'clean top' look. All of
the speed gurus tell us that the top of the airplane is the place you can
pick up the most speed. The cleaner, the better!
I like the blades on the tail beneath the tail surfaces. They are
unobtrusive and lower drag than any of the V antennas.
If you care to see a set installed, take a look at the following website.

Happy Skies,
