With a few exceptions, most who moan about the Tomahawk usually have never even flown in one.
"
Ah, but everyone dies in them, the tail falls off all the time, the trimmer's crap, they all fly like sheds" etc. seem to be common old wives' tales oft repeated.
True, the trimmer isn't as effective as other types but it seems to work well enough. I think it flies quite nicely, but you need to watch the weight.
Us Tomahawk likers seem to be a rare breed in public. Perhaps we should have our own sub-forum on PPRuNE
