To Karl's comment: Sometimes I don't turn more than 45 degrees on a
cross country. How important are those flying qualities to your own
mission?

Lance
- huge cargo holds fore and aft
- very wide, roomy cabin
- pax like
- 1400+ useful load

A36
- really tough gear (electromechanical which is good)
- 10 kt faster
- Beech Part$
- Very late models have a cargo hold in back. Earlier ones have none!

- 1200 useful load

There is a world of difference in the flying qualities of these two
airplanes. The Lance is just ugly to fly, with heavy unresponsive
controls. The A-36 is a delight, and one of the most smooth and
responsive singles in the air.
