Hated the way the "Cardinal" flew, it ranks right down there with the Seneca.
My favorite airplanes to fly were the Beech Bonanza and Baron, but I think the
T-210 and 310R's were much better all-round airplanes.
I never had any problem with the noses being heavy, but every time I'd check
someone out, I'd make double sure they got some experience before sign-off.
Props and engines were expensive then, I don't want to even know now!
