con-pilot, Yes I fully understand, I initially started flying the "J" sn549, not as weak as the G, I think the N was just a four bladed version of the J, anyway, you probably had Clem Kegler as your ground instructor as I did, I think FSI at Hobby did a great job.
A person like you would of really been able to appreciate the newer models with mods like 5 degree flap settings, glass windshields and 1000hp engines.
I think they were given a bad rap and if you look at the data, the BE200 has a pretty bad safety record in recent years, not sure why though.
Cheers, D.L.
