PROTECT YOUR MODEL,

THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY

PRECAUTION

YOURSELF

OTHERS

Your Beechcraft Bonanza is not a toy, but a

sophisticated working model that functions very

much like an actual airplane.

Because of its realistic performance,

you do

not assemble and operate your Bonanza correctly,

you could possibly injure yourself or spectators and

damage property.

make your

R/C

modeling experience

totally enjoyable, get assistance with assembly

and your first flights from an experienced,

knowledgeable modeler.

You’ll learn faster and

avoid risking your model before you’re truly ready

solo.

Your local hobby shop has information

about flying clubs in your area whose membership

includes qualified instructors.

You can also contact the Academy of Model

Aeronautics (AMA), which has more than 2,300

chartered clubs across the United States. We

recommend you join the AMA which will insure you

at AMA club sites and events. AMA Membership is

required at chartered club fields where qualified

flight instructors are available.

Your Top Flite Gold Edition Beechcraft

Bonanza is intended for scale and general sport

flying including

mild

aerobatics such as loops,

stall turns, rolls, etc. Its structure is designed to

withstand such stresses.

you intend to use

your Bonanza for more abusive types of flying

such as racing, aggressive aerobatics, or flying

from rough fields, it is your responsibility to

reinforce areas of the model that will be

subjected to the resulting unusually

high stresses.

NTRODU

CTl

Thank you for purchasing the

Top Flite Gold

Edition Beechcraft Bonanza.

From this kit you can build either the V35B

V-tail (1970, 1971

)

or the F33A straight tail (1970,

1971).

you like the looks of the V

tail best, don’t

be intimidated. Actually, the V

tail is a little easier

to build than the straight tail because it has fewer

parts! See page 7 for more comments on the

differences between the V

tail and the straight tail.

Since this is a scale model with lots of detail,

you’ll find it takes a little longer to complete than

the sport models you’ve built before. But since this

is a Top Flite Gold Edition kit, it isn’t more difficult

to build than those sport models. The Top Flite

Bonanza uses the same materials and standard

construction techniques you’ve already become

accustomed to. You won’t have to learn anything

new to end up with a first class scale model! Not

only that, nearly all of the trim schemes you’ll find

on full size Bonanzas are quite simple and should

be easy to duplicate with Top Flite MonoKote film!

The Top Flite Beechcraft Bonanza is an excellent

Sportsman or Expert Scale subject. Its large size

and accurate scale outline afford you the

opportunity to go all out with as many extra details

as you like. And with the abundance of Bonanzas

at airports around the country, finding a full scale

plane to model shouldn’t be a problem. The option

of building either a V

tail or conventional tail opens

up the possibilities even more!

-3-

Anyone who has mastered a low wing sport

model should be able to fly the Bonanza without

difficulty. It handles very much like a full size

Bonanza

smoothandpredictable.

Because of its 81” wingspan, the Top Flite

Beechcraft Bonanza is eligible for IMAA* events. In

order to be IMAA legal some of the control

components and hardware may need to be

replaced to conform to Giant Scale rules even

though this model does not require heavy duty

hookups.

Several scale accessories specially designed for

the Top Flite Bonanza are available separately

including a full cabin interior, in

cowl exhaust

system, and a complete lighting kit. See the Scale

Accessories section on page

for more

information.

Please inspect all parts carefully before

starting to build!

any parts are missing,

broken or defective, or if you have any

questions about building or flying this model,

please call us at (217) 398

8970 and we’ll be

glad to help.

you are calling for replacement

parts, please look up the part numbers and the

kit

identification number (stamped on the end

of the carton) and have them ready

when calling.

PRECAUTIONS

You must build the plane

according to the

plans and instructions.

not alter or modify the

model, as doing

may result in an unsafe or

unflyable model.

In a few cases the plans and

instructions may differ slightly from the

photos. In those instances you should assume

the plans and written instructions are correct.

You must take time to

build straight, true

and

strong.

You must use a proper RIC

radio

that is in first

class condition, the correct sized

engine

and

correct

components

(fuel tank, wheels, etc.)

throughout your building process.

You must properly

install

all R/C and other

components

that the model operates properly

on the ground and in the air.

You must

test

the operation of the model before

every flight

insure that all equipment is

operating, and you must make certain that the

model has remained structurally sound. Be sure to

check external nylon clevises often and replace

them

they show signs of wear.

you are not already an experienced

R/C

pilot

you must

fly

the model

only with the help

of a

competent, experienced

R/C

pilot.

NOTE:

We, as the kit manufacturer, can provide

you with a top quality kit and great instructions,

but ultimately the quality and flyability of your

finished model depends on how

you

build

it;

therefore, we cannot in any way guarantee the

performance of your completed model, and no

representations are expressed or implied

as to the performance or safety

your

completed model.

Remember: Take your time and follow

directions to end up with a well

built model that

is straight and true.

DECISIONS YOU MUST MAKE

TAIL CONFIGURATION

You

may build your Bonanza as a

straight

tail

or a

tail.

Complete instructions are provided for

both. The main differences in construction are

building the tail surfaces themselves, the way

they mount to the fuse, and the turtle deck

sheeting.

you wish to utilize the elevators as

ruddewators

(elevators and rudder) on the V

tail,

you will need a computer radio with V

tail mixing

or a servo mixer such as the Ace MixMaster

(ACEM2510). However, the Bonanza will fly just

fine with elevators only and no rudder input.

not be intimidated by the V

Tail configuration. It

flies beautifully and is as easy

handle as the

straight tail.

ENGINE SELECTION

Recommended engine size:

.60

.91

cu.

in.

stroke

-or-

.90

,120 cu.

in.

stroke

The Bonanza will fly

well

with any of the

recommended engines. The 4

stroke engines

and most

.75

stroke engines will turn a larger

prop at lower RPM’s. This is often desirable for

scale realism. Many

.60

stroke engines

produce about as much horsepower as the

popular

.75

or .90 2

stroke engines and will fly

the Bonanza well.

you use a

.60

2-stroke,

ball bearing, Schnuerle

ported engine is highly

recommended. Our prototype Bonanza weighed

13 pounds with all of the options, including flaps,

scale cockpit interior and operational lighting,

and was flown with a SuperTigre

75.

It turned

a Top Flite Power Point 12x8 prop at 9,600 RPM.

This engine provided excellent performance

and more than enough power, even in gusty

winds.

Although larger engines can be used to

power this model, the extra horsepower is

not

needed.

The included adjustable engine mount will

hold a range of engines from

.60

stroke

through 1.20 4

stroke.

EXHAUST SYSTEM

A Top Flite header and muffler are available

that will fit inside your cowl. They are designed

for 2

stroke engines mounted horizontally, as

used on the model and shown in the instructions.

For part numbers see the accessory list on page 6.

RETRACTABLE LANDING GEAR

You may build the Bonanza either with fixed or

retractable landing gear. Of course, fixed gear

will be much easier to install than retracts; but we

provide detailed instructions on retract

installation

you should have no trouble. We

chose the Robart #BZA80 retracts because they

are specially designed for this model. This

landing gear is a special adaptation of the Robart

#640

mains and the #631 nose gear. Other

systems may work as well but it is up to you to

make modifications to fit them into the model.

This model was designed to incorporate scale

flaps; however,flaps are optional are not

necessary

for an excellent flying experience.

Without flaps, the takeoff roll is longer and the

landing speed is faster.

The flaps are not difficult to build, but they do

require good craftsmanship to

fit

well. Flaps add

nicely

the model’s flight characteristics and

scale appearance while causing no bad effects.

Only slight trim correction is needed when they

are used with the recommended throws. They

are a highly recommended

fun

option

for those

who wish to install them. More information on

the use of the flaps may be found in the

“Flying” section.

An operational lighting system (TOPQ7912) has

been developed specially for the Top Flite

Bonanza and was installed in our prototypes.

Guidelines are provided in this manual for building

the wiring into the wing and building brackets to

hold the wing tip and tail navigation lights. You can

install the lights in the fuse at any time. The

instructions included with the lighting kit provide

information on how to hook everything up. The

lighting kit includes one rotating beacon for the top

the fuselage, one landing light for the front of the

cowl, and three navigation or

position

lights for the

wing tips and tail cone (green in the right wing tip,

red in the left wing tip, and white in the tail cone).

you would like

add the strobe lights in the wing

tips, order RAM #RAM01 (RAMQ2301) and

purchase additional clear lenses directly

from RAM.

Scale cockpit interior

Your model won't be complete without the Top

Flite Beechcraft Bonanza Scale Cabin Interior

(TOPQ8402). It includes the floor, side panels, full

instrument panel and six seats! You can install the

Cabin Interior at any time because the cabin top is

removable but it's easiest

build the cockpit into

the model while it's under construction. The servos

and pushrods are located

the Cabin Interior can

be installed without any modification.

IMPORTANT BUILDING NOTES

There are

two

types of screws used i\n this kit:

number and a length.

Sheet metal screws are designated by a

For example #4 x 5/8":

Machine screws are designated by a number,

threads per inch, and a length.

For example 4

40 x 3/4":

When you see the term

test fit

in the

instructions, it means that you should first position

the part on the assembly without using any glue,

then slightly modify or

custom fit

the part as

necessary for the best fit.

Whenever the term

glue

is used this means you

should rely upon your experience to decide what

type of glue to use. When a specific type of

adhesive works best for that step we will tell you

what type of glue to use.

Whenever

just

epoxy

is specified you may use

either

minute epoxy

minute epoxy. When

minute epoxy is specified it is highly

recommended that you use only 30

minute epoxy

because you will need the working time and/or the

additional strength.

Occasionally we refer to the

top

bottom

of the

model or

down.

To avoid confusion, the

top

bottom

of the model is as it would be when the

airplane is right side up and will be referred

the top even

the model is upside down during

that step,

i.e.

the top main spar is always the top

you are working on it.

Incidence and Thrust Angles: The incidence

angles and down thrust angles shown on the

fuselage side view are in reference to the stepped

When you get to each step, read that step

completely through to the

end

before you begin.

at the end of the step that you need to know before

you start.

NOTES

FROM

THE

DESIGNER

Scale Accuracy:

The Bonanza was designed using three

view drawings from Beechcraft dated 1969. In addition,

measurements of all aircraft components were taken from a

V35B Bonanza at a local airport.

Wing Design:

The TF Bonanza was designed with an

"1-

Beam

type of wing spar rather than the more traditional "D-

Tube

type construction. Actually, the design could be

called an

Tube

. This simplifies construction and is

approximately

50%

stronger than D

Tube designs. The

wing was designed with an absolute minimum number of

seams that must be sanded on the finished wing. The result

is a very smooth wing.

Flaps:

Flaps on the full scale aircraft allow steeper

approaches and slower landing speeds. They do exactly the

same on this model. The improvement in performance is

well worth the effort.

Landing Gear:

If you are installing fixed gear you will note

that the strut extends

out

from the center of the groved rail

instead of the end. This allows landing stresses

distributed across three ply reinforced ribs, rather than

being concentrated at the end of the rail.

you plan

install retractable landing gear,

highly recommend the

Robart units especially designed for the Bonanza. They are

very robust and include shock absorbing struts. One of our

prototype models was built with Robart

#606HD

mains and

a #607 nose unit. Though adequate, they required a lot of

maintenance and occasional repair. Gear doors would look

great on this model but you will have

do some

modifications

you want to install then. The mounting rails

are designed

landings or contact with obstacles.

Fuselage Design:

The fuselage design is fairly

conventional. The cabin top is a LARGE ABS piece and

is designed

be removable but

you are not

concerned with access

the fuel tank and cabin interior it

can be permanently glued in place, allowing the seams

be filled in. We found that

you choose your trim design

carefully, the seams are pretty well hidden.

The cabin area is reinforced with

1/8

lite ply. While it is

more than strong enough,

would recommend that you

reinforce the area with some basswood rails along the

bottom of formers F2, F4 and F6 across the width

the

fuselage. We have included ample extra 1/4" x 3/8"

basswood material for this purpose.

V-Tail

not a Bonanza if it isn't a V

Tail.

the other hand, was intimidated by the

Just

kidding.

was designing the model

be either

Tail or straight tail, using the same basic mounting

structure and pushrods and showing

all on the plans that

found intimidating.

You Need a Computer Radio?

NO!!

A computer radio

will simplify radio installation and allow full utilization of the

ruddervators but it is in no way required. Simply connect the

ruddervator servos together with a Y

cable and use them as

elevators. Or use one of the many mixers available

obtain V

Tail mixing. Incidentally, this model duplicates

virtually all of the flight characteristics of the full size aircraft.

The rudders are somewhat ineffective and it has the

characteristic Bonanza tail wiggle. The

full

size aircraft has

differential throw when rudder is applied

the ruddervator

having more up throw than down. This compensates for a

nose down tendency otherwise. Try

duplicate this

use a computer radio. We used a Futaba radio and

did get the required compensation as you will note in the

recommended control throws section.

Will It Really Fly

YES!! And very

flew in a very scale like manner.

Good luck and good flying.

hope you enjoy building and

flying your Bonanza as much as

did designing it.
