It looks like I will have a mission to pick up a PA32-300 on Thurs. Can
anyone point me to an online copy of the flight maual, or perhaps some of
the pertinent information? I've got a couple of hours in a PA32-260 some
years ago, and will have a copy of the manual available when I pick up the
airplane, however I would like to prepare myself somewhat. Any warnings or
items I should watch out for?

Have your right leg ready on the takeoff roll. Use lots of rudder trim for
takeoff. Otherwise typical Cherokee behavior.

The PA32R-300T (T-tail Lance) that I flew was pretty squirrely on the ground, a
real handful for directional control, but I think that was just something screwy
about the gear on that particular aircraft. Also it was a real ground-lover,
long takeoff runs, which exacerbated the directional control issue.
