its been almost 30 years since I spun the Tomahawk.

I do hope that you will all take this advice....make sure the tow bar is well secured and anything that can come loose in the cargo compartment is secured.

Also, you might want to remember this...if your chair/seat is loose in the track...be careful...also you might want to have the seat as far forward for CG reasons as you can....and if things go really bad...move the seat forward to change the CG in your favor for recovery.

I did prefer teaching in the Tomahawk rather than the cessna product...much better visibility.

Be sure the stall strips are properly installed on the wing's leading edge.


When she goes...she really goes!
