The Model 35. It is sweet to fly I can tell you from experience. My uncle has one that I have spent many hours in. Strangely enough, most of them that went down would break up in the air from over stressing the tail, which was a pilot error problem and not a structural problem. When it worked it worked really well, but when it didn't.... Thankfully I always had a retired 747 pilot next to me when I flew it.

Yep. Some law school used to use the Mod 35 as an example of what happens in product liability. Beech had even considered re-engineering, but didn't have the money to rebuild all of the. Nice airplane. - Had an uncle who flew one back in the days when it was the hot ship.
