My theory is that you can tell when you are at home in any aeroplane because it then feels like a 172.
I think it was Scooter Boy who thought they were good for those who had not quite mastered cross-wind landings. Agreed, they are tremendous practice for putting one main wheel smoothly on the surface, then the other main, then the one at the front.
The true car of the private aeroplane world has to be the PA28 - it is barely an aeroplane.
As for not knowing about a Turbulent (draccent?) - please look it up before you comment. It might weigh in close to an ultralight, but it is a respectable aeoplane and one which will add to your store of skills.
BS.
