I have flown both types and I found the T-tailed Lance less stable and more difficult to fly in turbulance compounded by the longer fuselage. The turbocharged Lance requires a lot of rudder to keep straight on take-off and I found it easier to line up on the runway and apply the parking brake, set the power correctly, release the brakes and keep straight with large amounts of rudder. I found that to keep tracking the centreline of the runway whilst finetuning the power and trying not to overboost the engine too challenging for an old f**t.
