I'm interested in your opinion of both the PA38 and the T67 variants as spin trainers. I've heard different things about both.

The Tomahawk has a reputation for scary things happening with the tail in a spin, and yet I cannot find any footage on YouTube.

The Slingsby has a reputation for unrecoverable spins. A highly qualified TP is quoted as saying that it has many untested spin modes, and only three that are tested. With an unpredictable spin, recovery isn't a dead cert.

Thank you!
