No, I haven't but the stretch of over 18 feet compared to the DC10-30, almost all ahead of the wing, changed centre of lift and the handling characteristics. Coupled with the smaller tailplane the MD11 is a "handfull" in certain conditions, a reputation the DC10 never had.
This is not the pertinant to the issue at all. Different performance charicteristics require different procedures. As long as the driver respects the machine and understands her limitations the MD-11 is an excelent aircraft.
