Well Bernie, I must say that the Texan and the PC9 look the same to me!! The Jane's book does say that the joint Pilatis/Beech venture yeilded a product modified some 70% from the original, but it doesn't appear to be that noticable.
From Raytheon litterature, the modifications seems to be mostly on the flight systems, to conduct the turbine/pitch changes as automatically as possible, and a system to supress torque effects. Aerodynamic changes seems limited to a small anti-spin keel under the tailplane, and that's it !
