		Beech apparently was aware that the structural margin on the tail was inadequate, because the purpose of the modifications was to increase the strength of the tail.
		Beech offered to retrofit, free of charge, the very early models with a strengthened wing, but this proved to be almost as expensive to Beech as producing a new airplane, and the company stopped actively encouraging owners to receive the retrofit.
		Aircraft control response with the V-tail is equivalent to that of a conventional tail of 40 percent greater surface area.

	74925 -- Garrison v. Beech Aircraft Corp. -- Green -- Kansas Court of Appeals

		Some, like Walter Beech and Clive Cessna, became involved in the design and manufacture of airplanes that would be suitable for "the man in the street" when the moment came for him to take to the air.
		Walter Beech died in 1950, but his wife went on to run the company; together they made it the success story that it is today.
		A key to that success was the Beech Model 17, but the high performance of the initial Model 17R, of which only two airplanes were built, meant that it was very much an experienced pilot's airplane, and unsuitable for the far wider market that was sought.
