Hmmm... I may have to collect more data on this. Certainly my prelimary
data, based on medium speed swooshing at both full arm extension and half
arm extension, combined with several strafing runs (complete with machine
gun sound effects) against the now shipless Snottler crew, and some
emergency landings on the living room floor indicated the 'Baron was
infinitely more swooshable than the Camel.
I'll report my findings (possibly with graphs and charts) in due course.
It occurs to me that your high speed building techniques may be leading to
ABS fatigue and hence mid-air breakup of your aircraft ;-)

I definitely need more data!
