I Traimed in Tomahawks in 1980 with a British company called Curzon Flight. Operated out of Redbird just south of Dallas. Quirky aircraft. N2584N s engine stopped after 3 rotations in a spin. 20 years later I read the accident report that she killed instructor and student in spin training.
However, getting back to the subject of the T tail. My instructor warned me not to allow rearward flight after a stall. The tail isn’t stressed for a tail slide and will fold apparently.
