Chris,
You made me curious, so I did some online research. The installation I saw
on the Baron appears to be the one provided by an STC owned by D'Shannon
Aviation of Buffalo, Minnesota, approved in 1992. I did not read all of the
45 pages, but it appears applicable to almost all models of the Baron.
