A low drag airframe coupled with 2 big tail control surfaces that was/is a popular model purchased by medical professionals. Very easy to exceed vne. There was a redesign that solved the "problem" of tail seperation but evidently a lot of people like to still refer to them as such.

I want to fly a Twin Bonanza. Not that homebuilt, but the giant one Beech made.

Feels odd to fly with the "synchronized" yoke/rudders. You can feel those bungie cords fighting you, especially when landing in a crosswind. |

It was a sweet flying machine, but a bit loud. |

Worst thread jack ever, I know Doctors with more money than time to fly buy them, then drive them into the ground (and/or inflight breakup) due to the combination of a high performance airplane flown by someone that doesn't have the time to stay proficient in said high performance airplane. These days it sounds like Cirrus is competing for the doctor killer title. For such a safe airplane, there's a terrible percentage of owners turning them into lawn darts. |

Ironic to me. However, CFIT happens. There is a pretty crappy video of a Cirrus involved in a midair that then parachuted down....on fire. |
