My understanding is that you can’t judge a plane by the size of it’s rudder.

Huge rudder = lower critical engine out minimum controllable airspeed. Kills you in a Baron, but saves you in a Navajo or Cheyenne.

Big girl will just roll inverted, stall, and pancake you into the ground.

Really, this pilot deserves a medal.
