Cherokee or Warrior - 'Hershey Bar' or 'Tapered'
Cherokee or Warrior - 'Hershey Bar' or 'Tapered'
The early Piper Cherokee had slab wings ('Hershey Bar' - after the american's favorite chocolate bar), then the Warrior came out with tapered wings.
I understand that the tapered wings of the Warrior makes it stall at the root of the wing first so that you still have some aileron control to recover.
If there was a choice of (say) a PA28-140 (Cherokee) a PA28-180 (Cherokee) and a PA28-161 (Warrior) what would you go for and why?
