What a lot of ill-informed tripe. As long as a Tomahawk is well maintained and has had all the AD's done, there is nothing remotely unsafe to be concerned about unless you mishandle the aircraft. I have hundreds of hours in both types, and sincerely believe that if you can fly a PA38 well, you will be a better pilot than someone who sticks to Mr Cessna's product. Someone I know has 15,000 hours instructing in the Traumahawk, and hasn't killed himself yet. Why are there so many opinionated 50 hour test-pilots on this forum?
