The one we had for training was constantly breaking. A lot of it can be contributed to "student" use. The Lance has been an unfortunate bird at our school in terms of all the things that broke on it. When we got the Cessna 206 no one cared for the Lance any more, and the Lance was sold for very cheap because it was so old and beaten up...
I generally like the PA-32s and I think they're a cool aircraft, and I have seen several over the years in a lot better shape than ours. Ours however truly was a piece of junk...

Spent many a year flying the Beechasaurus Americanus.
THE "TWIN BITCH".
I agree with the name, but that one is an abomination of the Twin Bitch. Not nearly the bitch the real -18 is
