The trouble with senecas is Piper had a load of bits from archers/arrows etc, left over and someone said "let's build a twin".

It was never really designed, it just happened. Bloody thing generally runs out of elevator in the flare. I used to accept some forward trim load to give more elevator authority. Whatever Pace says, and if you have 2000 hrs on the thing I would hope you can land it by now, the point is they're hired out to relatively low houred ppl's and they're a pig to land with anything approaching grace.
