Jeez......
Like many other people, I learned to fly on the PA38. After reading some of these posts, I'm wondering how I ever managed at all!!! But I did....and then I flew them for a while, and then I moved on. And I'd happily go back to them, and not to some aircraft that other people love. We're all different.
So, Smithy, I can only agree with Airbus38's comment...
have a great flight. Don't let it get spoiled by people who try to tell you there's anything funny about the aeroplane. You will love it, like most people loved their first flight.
Read and learn from all these comments, but don't get caught up in all the vehement arguments. It's not wonderful, or awful; it's just an aircraft you can learn to fly on.
