Hello all, first post here, so please be gentle. Heh heh.
I'm about to start my PPL training (just after the New Year) on the Piper Tomahawk. Being an ex-Air Cadet I have flown the Grob G115 and the Viking glider (Twin Astir), but I haven't flown anything else before.
So, has anyone here flown a Tommy? What's it like to fly? Just out of interest what sort of performance can I expect from it, e.g. climb rate, cruise etc.
Also, the Tutor and Viking I flew in the Cadets has a stick... never flown with a yoke before... how does a yoke compare to a stick, does it make the aeroplane feel a bit different to fly?
Any other comments about the Tommy would be welcome.
Cheers
Smithy from EDI
