The two and a half hours I have in a PA38 might not be enough to make an informed judgement, but I would describe it as 'adequate' rather than 'satisfactory'.
I'm glad I am not alone in having a sudden and less than pleasant surprise upon rotation. After a Worrier, the Traumahawk felt way too unpredictable in pitch during take-off.
And the trim is just woeful!
How can the company that brought us the delightful Cub curse the flight training industry with such an inauspicious aircraft?
