Something should be said about the Cessna 411's bad single engine performance, and the excessive amount of rudder force required to lift the wing of the dead engine. Aviation Consumer often wrote about this aircraft's defects.TimothyMN (talk) 23:18, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

You can add it yourself if you can find a reliable source. I would expect the info to come from a some sort of technical assessment rather than just an opinion site. MilborneOne (talk) 09:44, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

One reliable source is FAA part 23.149, which says that rudder force for controllable flight must not exceed 150 pounds of force. I read somewhere that this airplane on a single engine requires more like 260 pounds of force to keep it flighing straight. I think the reference was in magazine Aviation Consumer.
