Thanks very much for your very informative response. I'd heard someone
say they were "squirrelly" and by the look of it, I couldn't see why it
would be.


Now THAT'S one I've never heard. G The BE23 airframe is a very stable
flyer, it's even got a linkage between the ailerons and rudder that
helps coordinate turns.

One other thing I forgot to mention is that PA28's side slip better than
BE23's. On the other hand, since the BE23 sinks slightly faster when
the power is removed, you don't need to slip so much!
