It was an UTTER piece of crap with dreadful control harmony - light and unresponsive in roll, heavy and sensitive in pitch. Abysmal, absurdly overcomplicated engine and propeller systems, a primitive autopilot which wasn't even integrated with the flight director, nosewheel steering which was almost impossibly stiff in cold weather... it would drop out of the sky when the 'power levers' were set to idle,
Surely you are talking about the Arrow Mk1 with the Hershey bar wing ...'If you're a little high on the approach just throttle back to idle and be amazed at how you are suddenly very low on the approach, don't try and correct for this with back pressure as you just aren't strong enough. The autopilot will generate interesting attitudes. Do not use it in IMC unless you want to die' as my conversion instructor laconically said...
