Since then I've heard them described as Terrorhawks & Traumahawks which I believe to be connected with their stalling characteristics. Don't see the prob myself as your instructor demonstrates the stall and you copy the appropriate recovery for the aircraft.
They've been around a good while and stood the test of time methinks.
I prefer low wing, so would choose to fly in one of them before a Cessna.
I will now stand back and await my punishment from the Cessna community.
