Have to agree with you. A couple of years ago that well respected poster here, gaunty, put up a link to a US publication on another topic. However, it also included a detailed flight test of the MU2 following a lot of criticism and court cases in the US.

I was fascinated enough to download the article and print a copy. Basically, it did all that it was supposed to but did not suffer fools. You needed to know exactly what you were doing in an emergency and not follow some generic emergency procedure. I think the problem in Australian operations was ice and being too slow to recognise the problem which was often fatal. Again, a case for knowing what to do and when you have to do it.

Properly flown they are an impressive piece of kit with some stunning performance. I often think I would like to get my hands on one, with the proper training, which in Australia can be doubtful.
