We have been trying to get more of them to join our formation flights,
but have very few takers. I must admit, however, that the later models
handle like trucks! Somewhere along the line, Beech decided that
Bonanzas were too light on the controls and stiffened them up. Also, the
vernier throttle and its positioning make it hard to fly formation.

That would probably be due to the rash of accidents where the tail got
pulled off prior to the mandated leading edge cuffs on the V-tails.
