From the 13Jan86 issue of _Aviation Week_, p. 14:

	Beech Aircraft will begin flight test in February or March
	of its first full-size, composite material Beech Starship 1,
	which rolled out at Wichita, Kan., Jan 3.  Test pilots will
	fly the aircraft from the right copilot's seat during extreme
	attitude testing because the exterior door structure behind
	the pilot's seat interferes with ejection seat placement.

The text continues, describing the Collins EFIS panel (a thing of
beauty, shown in a photograph above the text).  On the page facing
the text is a picture of the roll-out of N2000S, the first full-
size Starship 1.
