Sorry CFI - just do a bit of research on the Tomahawk - if you did you wouldn'd strap one to your behind ever again - I'll try & get the info & web site stuff for you to prove my point.

I first flew one at Tracey field in Ca. when they first came out - not a pleasant experience - I then had to teach in them for a period in OZ for 6 months.

Never again!!

Have you ever looked back at the tail when you have spun one?

I did once & never spun one again - 28 spin related fatalities in the first year of production in the US - that is one of the reasons why spin training was removed from the US syllabus!!

Best training aircraft - gotta be the Tiger - closely followed by the Chipmunk - then the C15/152!! My opinion!! All disenting views welcome!!
