Thumbs up

Well, I did about 30 hours of my PPL training on the PA38 Tomahawk. I think it's a better aircraft to learn the early handling and stall exercises. Once I got to the cross country phase of the training I moved onto the PA28 Warrior II. I probably spent about 1 hour doing circuits and basic handling with an instructor and then I felt right at home with it. It's alot more docile than the Tomahawk and as someone previously said the stall is literally non-existent (the Tomahawk more often that not would drop a wing quite abruptly). Piper Warrior definetely = Ford Fiesta of the skies. Thumbs up.

Regards,

Simon
