The story
Rockwell's attempt to take on the Bonanza and Mooney in the 1970s — low wing, retractable gear, a rakish nose and a towering tail. A solid touring single with a cult following among owners who like that nobody else at the airport has one.
Fun fact
The cabin is so roomy that one reviewer said it felt closer to a cabin-class twin than to other four-seat singles.
