Beechcraft Bonanza V35 - IRL Livery N3346V

N3346V is a Beechcraft Bonanza V35 residing in the United States of America. Our current model are superior upgrades to this V-Tail built in 1947, but it's as close as we'll probably get. N3346V was actually hand painted by Diamond Aircraft Painting (decal attached under left ruddervator). The V-tail or Vee-tail (sometimes called a butterfly tail[1] or Rudlicki's V-tail[2]) of an aircraft is an unconventional arrangement of the tail control surfaces that replaces the traditional fin and horizontal surfaces with two surfaces set in a V-shaped configuration. It is not widely used in aircraft design. The aft edge of each twin surface is a hinged control surface called a ruddervator, which combines the functions of both a rudder and elevator. The V-tail was invented in 1930 by Polish engineer Jerzy Rudlicki[2] and was tested for the first time on the Hanriot H-28 trainer aircraft, modified by a Polish aerospace manufacturer Plage and Laśkiewicz in the summer of 1931. Our N3346V was built in 1947 as noted above. Construction Number: D-810. Single engine Cont Motor E185 Series. Airworthiness Test completed March 30, 1955. Last known registration Williams, AZ.
