Started my training on a TB 9 then changed to C172.
The Socata was a dream to fly and very sensitive during flare.
The C 172 gave me good lookout instincts, very easy to land,but ours had a tendency to drop a wing during 'approach to landing 'stall. Once again good practice/experience.
After PPL have flown Tomahawk and Piper Archer.
DId some circuits at Point Cook with the PA 38.Not a pretty sight I imagined ,as could not get the 'Flare' technique right.
The Archer was very stable even in gusty conditions and my favourite.
