(GREEN-RIGHT, RED-LEFT)
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
of 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). If
you would like to 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 to build the cockpit into
the model while it's under construction. The servos
and pushrods are located
so the Cabin Interior can
be installed without any modification.
NOTES FOR COMPETITION
MINDED MODELERS
We designed our model from Beechcraft's own
1969 3-view drawings and from measurements
taken from a V35B at a local airport. The model
scale is 1 5 .
If you plan to enter your Bonanza in scale
competition (it's lots of fun, and the runways are
almost always paved!), this kit qualifies for Fun
Scale and the
Sportsman and Expert classes in
Sport Scale. Fun Scale and Sport Scale have the
same flight requirements where you must perform
ten maneuvers of which five are mandatory. If you
have never competed in a scale contest, you could
start out in Fun Scale. In Fun Scale, the only
documentation you need for static judging is any
proof that a full size aircraft of this type, in the
painffmarkings scheme on your model, did exist. A
single photo, kit box cover, even a painting is
sufficient proof! If you're interested, contact the
AMA for a rule book which will tell you everything
you need to know. Look in the back of the AMA
magazine Model Aviation for a schedule of events.
The trim scheme of the Bonanza on your kit box
was inspired by several trim schemes and is not
taken from one particular plane. If you are not too
concerned with an exact scale trim scheme you
can duplicate the one on the kit box, make a
variation of the one on the box, or design your own
trim scheme.
If you are going to compete in scale
competition use the photos in your documentation
package as a guide for your trim scheme.
