I have about 35 hours in a Traveler and another 100 or so in a Tiger. Very simple and easy airplanes to fly. Roll rate is sportier than a Cessna 172, but not too much. The only anomaly I found was it is hard to get down on the ground.....a real floater. You must plan your approaches more carefully than a 172. The flaps won't help you much. Other than this, they are a cake-walk. Maintenance, excluding engine/avionics, is unremarkable. Skin delaminations seen in the early 70's models has been long since corrected.
