Is the landing gear a better system than the Comanche series with cables? Do the Senecas have a 'huge' gear AD like the Comanches?
In general, what do experienced folks have to say about the Seneca? Some say they fly funny, i.e., wobbly. How about the structural integrity? (I will refrain from asking for a comparison with a Baron, but of course, that's what I'm asking . . ) I have many hours right seat in a Baron, but none at all in a Seneca. However, the Seneca captures my spirit of Piper, in what I perceive as a safer airfoil than a Baron, and less costly to own. Or am I wrong?
Engines on a Seneca II sound like maintenance problems with full-time turbos and low TBO times. What about a Seneca I with RayJays for a good option for a lower cost twin with 6 seats?
