ome say the hardest thing for an artist
to draw is the human hand, because
it is the part of our body that we are
all most familiar with. Simulating the
Beechcraft Bonanza V-tail is like draw-
ing that human hand. Additionally, there are many
Bonanza variants through history with owners that
know their airplane in some ways better than they
know themselves.
Yet we all interpret life around us differently,
including how an airplane feels to each pilot. It is
up to us, at A2A, to not just create an airplane that
objectively performs in line with the actual airplane,
but to capture that human feel and interaction with
the real airplane. We have to somehow magically
capture that experience that applies to all pilots.
And Accu-Sim technology allows us to achieve this
better than anything we’ve used before.
Beyond modeling a specific airplane, the Bonanza
history is surrounded with tales and stories devel-
oped over many decades, some are true and some
not. Probably the most common nick name the
Bonanza V-tail is known for is being the “doctor
killer.” When the Bonanza was first introduced, it
was unlike anything anyone has ever seen in the
general aviation market. And for the decade follow-
ing it’s release, successful businessmen and pro-
fessionals were buying the Bonanza in great num-
bers. Many of these pilots had primary careers that
demanded a great deal of their time, not leaving
much room for flying. And like many “weekend
warriors” today who spend the whole week sitting
behind a desk then go out and play a sport on the
weekend, injuries erupt. The same holds true for
the busy professional working all week who then
decides to occasionally fly a high performance air-
plane like the Beechcraft Bonanza V-tail.
The V-tail Bonanza was built from World War II
fighter technology, which was designed for highly
trained professional pilots. And like most Warbirds,
the Bonanza want so fly fast, all the time. Unlike
general aviation aircraft that were developed in
later years to have benign flight characteristics,
the Bonanza inherently has all of the challeng-
ing qualities of the World War II fighter. From my
point of view, flying a Bonanza is just like flying a
Warbird. It rumbles, shakes, rattles, is heavy and
can bite the low time pilot in a heart beat. Therefore
it’s this writer’s opinion that the new pilot should
approach flying a V-tail Bonanza exactly the same
as approaching an aircraft like a P-51 Mustang. The
V-tail Bonanza, like the Warbird, is designed for
experienced pilots who take the time to study and
fly and operate such an aircraft with organization,
patients, and preparedness.
For those pilots who do approach the V-tail
Bonanza with the respect it deserves, it will reward
the pilot with an experience unlike any other air-
craft in the general aviation fleet today. It is for this
reason the V-tail Bonanza still stands alone today,
as it did on the first day it was introduced to the
public.
We hope our work on this aircraft meets and
exceeds all of our customers expectations, and also
hope this aircraft delivers not weeks or months, but
years of excitement, wonder, surprise, and the most
complete simulated aviation experience to date.
Thank you to all of our customers for allowing us
to pursue our dreams, and hopefully help pass our
dreams onto you too.
