Weights, seats and fuel
Model 35 maximum weight is 2550 lbs normal category and 2100 lbs utility category. There are 4 seats, and utility category allows no baggage. Fuel is two main tanks of 20 gal each, 17 gal usable each. An optional fuselage aux tank holds 20 gal, 19.5 usable. Oil capacity is 10 qt.
What to inspect before buying
Wing attach bolts, nuts and fittings need a corrosion check, and the drain holes must be clear. Ruddervators on the V-tail are magnesium skinned, and corroded ones generally need a full reskin. Check the records for the 100-hour inspection, which must be done at least every 12 months even if flown under 100 hours a year.
Speed limits (Model 35 vs A35)
Model 35: maneuvering 113 kt, maximum structural cruising 139 kt, never exceed 176 kt, flaps extended 87 kt, landing gear extended 87 kt. The A35 has the same top speeds but allows flaps at 91 kt and gear at 109 kt.

Safety notes
- Australian AD/BEECH 35/67 Amdt 6 requires a wing bolt and fitting corrosion inspection every 12 calendar months. Bolts must be retired before 20 years in service, or maintained on condition.
- Magnesium ruddervators corrode rapidly. No approved repair exists for light damage or corrosion except a complete control surface reskin.
- If a Dynon roll servo autopilot is installed, check for at least 0.25 inch clearance between the aileron balance cable and the bridle cable guard.
