That is consistent with this accident, in that witnesses reported seeing the airplane descending with both wings folded up before impact. The pilot of the accident airplane being a physician has rekindled a lurid stereotypical expression involving V-tail Bonanzas. Never exceed speed (Vne) for the V-35 is 192 knots.

The airplane will be flown at 1,000’ AGL parallel to and at an equal distance from the field boundaries – about ½ – ¾ miles from the boundary as you would fly a traffic pattern. The entry into the maneuver should be accomplished downwind as you would enter the traffic pattern where groundspeed will be the greatest.

A drone was used to locate the airplane and steer two airboats to the crash site. Around halfway, cruising at 3,000 feet at 180 knots, onboard avionics data indicates increasing temperature in one of the cylinder heads lasting about five minutes.
