Then again, a Piper Arrow generally won't do so either (all the Arrows I

I find the Beech Bonanza a lot less work to fly IFR than an Arrow
because the Bonana flies better hands-off).

Then again, the Bonanza has a side-side tail wiggle that other airplanes
do not. And nothing short of a yaw damper will stop it.

Yah, but if the pilot doesn't sit in the back seat he'll never no it's
there. I've never noticed it on calm days either.
