***The Beech Starship was a bold attempt by Beech to do something a bit different,just recently the company has been buying back most of the remaining aircraft,these have been scrapped as the company no longer wants to have any spares support,back up or customer liability for the design,I think there was some talk of trying to get at least one into a museum.
I think it must have been a case of corner the market and get rid of them out of the way.
Canard designs hold some very unusual quirks,some undesireable.
