The Debi Debut!
Wanted to give everyone a quick tour of my new airplane, the 1966 C33A Beechcraft Debonair. I'm so happy to be able to say that I am now an airplane owner, a dream I've had since I became a pilot four years ago.
A background about me,
I’m an over 1000 hour CFI as well as an Instrument Rated Commercial Pilot ASEL/MEL and Ferry Pilot for Premier Aircraft Sales.
I have over 500 hours in high performance aircraft.
After Post Notes
Yes this is a McCauley Prop, not Hartzell!
The IO520 produces 285HP (not 280)
Still getting the hang of making these videos, so appreciate the understanding all 😊
Hope you enjoy- and can't wait to share our adventures with all of you!

So happy there are many new subscribers here! Appreciate the support and want to introduce myself. A background about me, I’m an over 1000 hour CFI as well as an Instrument Rated Commercial Pilot ASEL/MEL and Ferry Pilot for Premier Aircraft Sales. I have over 500 hours in high performance aircraft, and absolutely love learning anything in aviation. My next goal is my Seaplane Rating, as well as work on my AMP so I may understand my aircraft to a higher level, as well as work on it! Please keep comments kind, and remember not to judge a book by its cover. After Post Notes Yes this is a McCauley Prop, not Hartzell! The IO520 produces 285HP (not 280) Still getting the hang of making these videos, so appreciate the understanding all 😊

I used to maintain one of these for a flight school. I will tell you that they are extremely well built and over-engineered. A couple of things to watch out for are: 1) leaky fuel bladders, 2) the factory elevators were made of magnesium and are prone to severe corrosion (aluminum replacements are available).

I think you are awesome. My husband is from an aviation community. His parents still live on an airport (S36). He grew up knowing a few WASP pilots from WW2. They have all since passed away but what amazing women and tremendous pilots. Flying all kinds of different military aircraft . The airport currently has several female pilots, some airline pilots. People can be quick to judge as you say which is unfortunate. We wish you all the best.

@bwalker4194 Ай бұрын

Debi is gorgeous! Beechcraft designed some timeless airframes and this is one of them. She’s definitely ready for a new panel and (I’m freely spending your money here) possibly the IO550 STC. Read everything you can from Mike Busch…he’s the real deal. I built N36LV, which cruised at 200 kts true. From Mike’s teachings, I was safely able to burn either 18 gph ROP using fuel as an expensive coolant or give up 5 kts and burn 13 gph using extra free air as a coolant LOP. Best of luck….she’s special!

As a long time admirer and pilot of Beechcraft products and a Bonanza owner- Welcome to the family!!! You have so many wonderful resources such as the American Bonanza Society, ABS Air Safety Foundation, and the wonderful folks at the Beechcraft Heritage Museum to support your exciting ownership of "Debbie"! The "Beech Party" fly-in at KTHA is held at the museum every October and is a wonderful get-together for all Beechcraft owners (and a chance to see everything that Beechcraft ever built)...would love to see you there! And, of course there are the great social activities and training/seminars of ABS. Safe travels!

I know very little about the Debonair. I am from Truckee just over the hill and fly a Cessna 310R. I used to own a Cessna 182 and moved up to a 310R in 2005. My wife would never fly with me in the 182 so I moved up to the 310 for that reason. I have landed in Minden countless times and even took lessons when I was getting my Multi. I flew a Seminole in Minden with an older female instructor and an older French guy. however I cannot remember their names. The older female instructor was really good. Learned a lot from her. Did a lot of single engine work in that seminole. Loved your video and your airplane looks like it will give you many years of great flying and great memories. Keep the blue side up and fly safe. -David... Truckee CA

30 year old engine ? shes got lots of life left, I flew a cherokee for many, many years with a 53 year old engine, never a problem, misfire cough or anything, it just ran and ran and still runs strong today. Dont know if you watch Savvy Aviation, hes got a cessna 310 with engines that ran past TBO twice already and still going strong. You have a beautiful airplane and you are very beautiful so its a match lol. New subscriber, have fun with Debi, will keep an eye open for you and Debi at Oshkosh.

Congratulations. Great plane. Many upgrades over the B35 I flew many years ago it had upgraded radios and was IFR rated but before GPS was out. Fuel management was most important to get down. Pressurized carburetor puts fuel back into the left tank (pumps more than it burns). I used left tank, Right tank, aux tank and then land on fullest main tank usually left. Your POH may be different. 66’ was the year I graduated HS 😂. Blue skies and tail winds coming your way

New subscriber here. Fantastic airplane. My home FBO changed to Beechcraft just after I earned my PPL in Grumman American back in 1975. First thing I remember is shutting the door for the first check out flight and the air noise ceased. I only flew the basic planes for several years. Later I got a chance to fly a V tail bonanza. Loved the flip over yoke. Enjoy this purchase and treat her right. Looking forward to seeing more videos.

Looking forward to following your enjoyment of your own beautiful airplane. We looked into various Beechcraft models. Just a little too out of our price range. But they sure are fantastic aircraft.

@lgmarketingco Ай бұрын

WOW!! What an AMAZINGLY beautiful "older" plane. I absolutely love the look of these Beechcraft's and I can't believe the great condition it's in. It looks terrific and can't imagine how happy and proud you must be! I'm a new subscriber and your video hit my feed tonight because I am a plane and flight enthusiast. I missed my window for becoming a pilot and that is most definitely a regret but at least I can fly with Microsoft flight sim so I almost know what it must be like to pilot such an aircraft. Anyway, just wanted to drop a quick note to say WOW and Congrats on such an achievement! I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the interior. Good luck and best wishes for many happy hours of flight time in your new love! :)😄

@richardwestmoreland4796 Ай бұрын

You sound very much like me in that I too am an aircraft and aviation enthusiast that unfortunately waited too long to get my private pilots license and am now considering buying a simulator so that I can at least safely emulate what real pilots experience in the cockpit of the aircraft they fly. This Beechcraft is a beautiful aircraft and appears to be in very nice condition considering how old it is. If I were to become a private pilot this is the type of plane that I would love to fly. Retractable landing gear and with a three blade propeller are really nice to have. I didn’t know that a three blade prop would be quieter in the cockpit as I had just assumed that it was for better performance. Good luck with your simulator flying. It’s better than nothing and from watching KZfaq videos there are simulators on the market that are very good at being very realistic if one is willing to spend the money. I am going to probably start out with something that is entry level like one Microsoft makes and if I find it to be enjoyable gradually work my way up to more sophisticated systems over time.

A beautiful woman flying a beautiful aircraft. It doesn’t get much better than that. I grew up at a Department of Transport aka DOT airport back when there were housing complexes for the people who worked for the DOT so I got to have an up close look at a lot of different aircraft and these Beechcraft were one of my favourites just for how they looked. This one is in gorgeous condition and with a few upgrades to the avionics this woman is going to have herself a wonderful aircraft. Safety first is never so important as it is with aviation as you often don’t get to just walk away from your mistakes. Hopefully she makes it a priority over anything that is just cosmetic in her flying future.. I only wish that I would have pursued my private pilots license when I was younger but I had other priorities back then and now I’m just going to have to be content with a flight simulator. I see so many people who are truly enjoying their foray into aviation and it sure does look like it would be a lot of fun not to mention a wonderful way to see the world.

Congratulations in your purchase!. One of the first upgrades that I would recommend, a new baffling system for the engine and engine monitor. They are not very glamorous but it will assist you by keeping running the engine within acceptable/recommended parameters. Otherwise you are flying “blind”. Also, subscribe to ABS and Beechtalk. Many people in those forums will be more than happy to assist you.

Some things are true about required items of owning but it makes me think you don’t fly enough or have a great enough love of flying. The freedom to be able to jump in and go while looking down on the bumper to bumper traffic or going two to three times faster than a car in a straight line. I have an A and P and yes you are not wrong it can be as bad a boat for sure. Seen plenty in 28 years.
