Join Martin and Shane on the first flight in Martin's Bonanza after the upgrade to a factory-remanufactured Continental IO-550-B with 300 horsepower. In the process, the aircraft also got a new Hartzell Scimitar propeller and a new prop governor. Shane explains the upgrade process in detail before the two pilots are unleashing the full power of this strong engine for the first time on its maiden flight.
