No it doesn't really defy logic. They went to Textron, first company listed. They own the Beechcraft name now. Raytheon used to, then Hawker Pacific, but it's now Textron.
Yep, I forgot about the Textron takeover and only recognised the name in the context of other components.. But still there is no indication that they asked Beechcraft about either the ability to maintain directional control with full rudder trim or the impact that might have on the climb rate.
