I have been surprised how stable my LIV (non = pressurized, piston engine) is in choppy air, a lot better than the Bonanza’s I = have flown.  I have plenty of rudder authority except during early take = off on dirt, but then I do not use full throttle at that point.  No = problems on hard runways.   Mash the knob and hold on to the = centreline.

 

And more pounds way back there seems like a poor = addition to the airframe if the benefit is marginal. 

 

For turbines with lots of horsepower and long cowls, = more stability is needed.  For the rest of us, why = bother?

 

Or maybe my inner ear does not work that well any = more so I no longer notice. J
