I neglected to post this earlier. On Wednesday, 7/10/2015, I passed the commercial pilot practical test. I can get paid now!
Then on Saturday, Wayne let me fly N18RB for 1.3 hours. We flew to T82 for lunch. That is a sweet airplane. Extremely smooth, fast, powerful. We were routinely doing 160 knots, that with the power pulled way back. This Bonanza has a few quirks, but it's very easy to fly, easier than the Arrow which has fairly heavy elevator forces and doesn't trim up as nicely.
I'm thinking I need to find a Bonanza partnership....
