Guys, Just downloaded the Beachcraft Duchess and printed out the Pilot Operating Handbook. This plane is far more superior than good. I have a private pilot's license and I am twin rated, Received my rating on the Grumman Cougar. Just came back in to Laconia, New Hampshire Airport(KLCI)my home base. Did some single engine and a few stalls. Easy transition from the Cougar to the Duchess. I would recommend this plane highly. Happy Flying, Eddie
