Gene;
Not directed specifically at your question but to the many inquiries
regarding prebuys and mechanics/shops in general. Much has been written not
only here, but in paper publications about the importance of Bonanza
specific experience as well as the skill level of the mechanics doing an
annual. So many idiosyncrasies exist with the older Bonanzas that it
greatly benefits when the right shop is chosen. How many mechanics know
about the nose gear rod ends? How many have the scales to measure up and
downlock tension? How many know that you really don't have to change wing
bolts 99% of the time? What about the best place to buy parts or outsource
work? Unless you're proficient enough to be able to advise your mechanic
(if he'll take advice), I'd search for the right guy in your area. Next we
need to consider costs, which unfortunately is sometimes placed as the main
priority. Tough decision, but for you I'd recommend Hammock in Ennis (south
of Dallas) for anything Bonanza. Not cheap (everyone is too expensive by my
standards), but thorough.
Happy New Year
Al

All good points. I suggest contacting the American Bonanza Society.
They have always been willing to recommend someone in the past. If you
don't already belong, you should.
