I do not understand anybody wanting to maintain a PA38 at any significant expense.
As an aircraft, it has nothing going for it.
Many instructors like it because it has a nasty stall characteristic and "teaches people to fly correctly". Somebody needs to remind me why (outside of aerobatics) we learn to fly?

It doesn't have nasty stall characteristics though, it has a gentle wing drop which if taught correctly means that people wont get nervous if they get a wing drop on another type. The thing about stalling is that you're supposed to teach the recovery and you're also supposed to teach people to be calm when they recover, a point that is often missed on every type of trainer, not just this one .
