Swearingen Metro 2, and maybe the Fairchild Metro 3/23. (never flown the 3's, only the 2's)

In gusty conditions on approach, it was often better just to set the power - I only ever flew it single pilot - and fly it with both hands.
Shaped like a crow-bar, flys like one too.

Nearly forgot - For the last couple of years that I flew them, none of them had autopilots, so my arms ended up a fair old size!
