and more so the 200's, you can still be settling with power, and you'll have to combat several different forces and effects to safely fly it away.
I can certainly go along with that. A couple of decades ago I decided to get checked out on a C207, having only recently moved up to the Reims Rocket. Phew! What a difference! Long moment arm, much more inertia, difficult to slow down coming into the circuit without busting the bottom of the green arc on the manifold gauge (the owner was doing the checkout). The other big thing was in the go-around 'if you apply full power at the stall the torque will overcome any roll control you have. Gentle the power in, even if it means momentarily touching the ground'.
Even now, I wouldn't want to teach anyone to fly in a 207, probably not a 206 either, notwithstanding that I have successfully in a Reims Rocket.
