Hi Ghengis,

Probably too late to be of any help but I had one many years ago and the words of wisdom from elsewhere regarding keeping 70-75 on the clock into the flare are very valid.

Mine came from Belgium where a gentleman tried all afternoon and finally suceeded in taking the nosegear out. I changed the complete engine mount with nosegear, from one that was corroded out, and flew it back to UK. There I finished the sheet metal repairs and flew it happily for several years.

The airplanes are all nose heavy and if you look at the horizontal stab' it has an inverted aerofoil shape to give downward lift!! I guess Beech knew they had a problem?

Other than that a great stable, roomy airplane that makes a wonderful instrument platform at the expense of a bit of speed.
