The Mu 2 probably the best aircraft I have flown, just wonderful as long as you learn't the numbers, read the check lists and fly the aircraft as it was intended by the designer/manufacturer.
Flight Safety in the U.S. does FAA sanctioned Type Approval Training and recurrency checks.
The longer body airframes are nicer to fly, some are retro fitted with -10 engines and are great with the proviso that you really understand the upper end of the flight envelope.
asan IFR platform they are unbeatable, great roll control slow from the spoilers. and they come down hill as if they are on rails.
The previouscomment re: take off flaps is just so true, but obey the manual and it is a dream.
Avoid Icing !!!!
