Hi aiellosky

First Beechcraft doesn't build Senecas, they're build by Piper Corporation as FSO GRIFFO mentioned above. The version built under license by Embraer, as EMB810, is essentially the same as the Piper version with some minor cosmetic differences.

It's been more than 25 years that I flew one, but I can recall that it was a little bit heavy on the controls (essentially the elevators)during the flare maneuver.

If one didn't watch out, the nose gear could land first, causing the airplane to enter a porpoising movement and eventually hitting the props.

Brgds
