ANOTHER TOMAHAWK FAN HERE. I HAVE MANAGED TO LOG A FEW HOURS IN THESE AND HAVE SPUN THEM PLENTY OF TIMES - I'M STILL ALIVE. I HAVE A THEORY REGARDING THE STALL/SPIN ACCIDENTS. THE PA38 IS NOT A C152 AND SHOULDN'T BE SPUN LIKE ONE. NEVER GO INTO A SPIN "CROSSED UP" AND WATCH THE RECOVERY. THE PA38 SPINS NOSE DOWN AND PICKS UP SPEED PRETTY QUICKLY IN THE RECOVERY. IF THE RUDDER CONTROL IS NOT NEUTRALISED IMMEDIATLY ON ROTATION STOP YOU'LL GO STRAIGHT THROUGH Va WITH THE RUDDER FULLY DEFLECTED. DO THAT A FEW TIMES AND THE TAIL WILL EVENTUALLY BE DAMAGED! AS FOR THE TAIL MOVING, ISN'T THAT A GOOD THING? IF IT REMAINED RIGID IT WOULD PROBABLY SNAP. LOOK AT ANY LARGE COMMERCIAL AIRLINER. THEY HAVE WINGS THAT PRACTICALLY FLAP DURING FLIGHT! ANY ONE ELSE GOT ANY IDEAS? SPIN A PA38 LIKE A PA38 AND YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY DRAMAS.
