Beechcraft was founded in 1932 by Walter H beech and his wife Olive Ann Beech. The Beeches began operations in an idle Cessna factory. Perhaps the best known Beech aircraft, the single-engine Bonanza has been manufactured for nearly 60 years. The Bonanza has had the longest production run out of any airplane, past or present, in the world. All Bonanzas share an unusual feature: the yoke and rudder pedals are interconnected by a system of flexible bungees which assist in keeping the airplane in co-ordinated flight during turns. The bungee system allows the pilot to make coordinated turns using the yoke alone, or with minimal rudder input, during cruise flight. On takeoff increased right-rudder pressure is still required to overcometorque and P factor. In the landing phase the bungee system must be over-ridden by the pilot when making cross wind landings and cross controlled inputs are required to keep the nose of the airplane aligned with the runway centerline without drifting left or right Pre-painted with scale paint scheme, decals applied at factory and clear coated.
