People who say they are Squirrelly, never really learned to fly them.
They are not as forgiving as Pipers or Cezznas if you cannot control speed
and glide slope on final.
They demand a pilot... not a driver.

Plenty of excellent info @ www.beecheroclub.org. A membership might be
a great value to help investigate the plane.

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. I don't care about it being slower than other 180 hps, I
currently have a Varga (150 hp). Not about speed, for me, anyway.

Thanks again for taking the time to answer.
