Just to add something of a postscript to this thread, before it gets sent to Jetblast....
I've now had a lesson in a PA-28 and I'm still confused. The problem, you see, is that I had a
great lesson - things just worked (instructor might disagree
), and I rattled through everything we had covered in the briefing. Even had enough time left to run through some new stuff; a circuit-rejoin, followed by a ciruit and approach to land, although the last bit was pretty pi$$ poor, TBH. Compared to my (few) lessons on the Tomahawk I just sailed through things.
Now this may just be that I'm getting better at this flying thing. Hard to tell after one go. I've got another lesson on the Warrior to see what happens.
I fully agree with what has been said about the merits of the Tomahawk, and I'd generally agree that it is better to learn on the harder aircraft if it makes do things better in the long run. We'll see if this difference in pace carries on, though, because that may make me think again. Think I may be asking more questions.....
Many thanks everybody for your thoughts. They are very much appreciated.
All the best,
Evo.
