My experiences match Slatches. The T tail is a result of what happens when the marketing weenies overrule the engineers. It took Piper a few years but eventually they admited the error of their ways and put the tail back where it belonged. However the good news is the very poor reputation of the T tail has significantly depressed the value of even quite nice examples of this airframe. While not as pleasant to fly as the low tail models, it is still has OK flying characteristics, and you can't tell the difference in cruise. I would advise staying away from the Turbocharged examples though. It is a poorly designed system
