Harder than it looks
Especially in that thing where the outboard engines mean that you only get about 5 degrees of bank to play with before you're dragging them in the grass. Bonus of being so massive though is that it's got so much inertia that it'll just ride through gusts.

I would not like to be sat at the back of that plane.

The back is the safest place, statistically.
But no, it'd be terrifying.
An old work mate of mine had a pilot's licence and used to have to rent a light aircraft to keep up his air-hours. Flying with him in a dinky little single prop plane taught me a lot about the aerodynamics - coming in to land with the prop hardly turning, seeing the wings wobble and flex... All very normal.
I've been a much more comfortable flyer ever since.
