The Rockwell 112/114 is a nice aeroplane to fly. It doesn't have any bad traits or if it does, I've not found them. Never owned one (but almost did).

The cabin is roomy and comfortable with access from both sides, but the trade-off is there is a second door to leak water inside, and I reckon the door sealing is not as good as it needs to be. I like the U/C hydraulic system which is spring loaded down and hydraulic to retract. Release the hydraulic pressure and down it goes. Nice and simple!

One thing to watch for is the Main Landing Gear attachment points on the wing. It might be a bit of a weak point and can be expensive to repair.
