What is your plan again? You have multiple threads and I forgot. Will you finish your training in a "simple" plane and then get your endorsement for your complex plane and get the 25 hours dual for the ins. requirements in your Bonanza?

Really consider joining the Bonanza Society and when you can, go for their training programs. You get to meet a bunch of other Bonanza owners and really learn about your plane. One course is on mountain flying/high altitude. They meet in Leadville, Co. and you get to practice taking off and landing at North America's highest airport. Their programs really make you a better pilot.
