 AMARC2002 - Hanger 9 T-34 Mentor
The Mentor was clearly going to be a very different type of aircraft and while it would need a similar amount of power, a pack of the Blue Max size and weight would limit the performance.

The Mentor had missed the hard runway by several meters and impacted on the grass at a shallow angle.

 T-34 History
Beech developed the Mentor as a private venture.  During 1948, Beech completed three conceptual designs which were based on the Model 35 Bonanza and were designated Model 45 Mentor by the company.
In July 1951 one of the original prototypes was modified to mount two 7.62-mm (0.3-in) machine guns in the wings, with provision for underwing racks capable of accepting six rockets or two 68-kg (150-lb) bombs.  The USAF evaluated this version as a potential close-support aircraft, but no orders ever materialized.
On June 17, 1954 the Navy announced that the Mentor had been chosen as its first-step student trainer for use by the Naval Air Training Command with an initial order for several hundred planes.  Beechcraft had won over two other airplanes, described by the Navy as "excellent" in evaluation tests conducted at Pensacola, Florida.

In addition to being a Beechcraft dealer until around 1960, he was instrumental in presenting the safety of Beech designs to the public during two of the historic Cleveland Air Races which was probably the top aviation showcase until the event's life was terminated by a tragic accident during another (unrelated) flying exhibition.
During the 1948 Cleveland Air Races, Bevo flew an aerobatic routine in the Beechcraft D Model Bonanza shown in the first four images below to help dispell rumors that the Bonanza was structurally unsafe, leading, in part, to the eventual success of the Bonanza over it's stronger, but slower, rival, the Navion.
A historical note, the plane adjacent to the Mentor in the color picture Mentor-Col-01.jpg is Bettty Skelton's "Lil Stinker" Pitts Special and I believe the woman visible in the next image is Betty.
