September 27, 20214 yr Sort of becoming "Pipers R US" - awesome the more the better, I will be buying it.
September 27, 20214 yr There is a reason it is called the 'Trauma Hawk'. I this one of these twice. The first time it was so whack on final approach I assumed I just really screwed up. Second time I with a fellow pilot we discovered that the wings blanked out the elevator authority right when you needed it the most. I made the decision and have never flown this type again.

September 28, 20214 yr Flown these in real life many times. The issue is that typical training aircraft are SO forgiving. I have spun the Tomahawk... and you can recover... just make sure you have the altitude. Whats going to be interesting is how Just Flight does the flight modelling. I would have a hard time saying no to this. They are smart to be doing the Piper line up. Amazing that they can put out very good airplanes, and other big developers can't put out one! I pretty much only fly around the T Tail turbo these days. Tomahawk will be good for the local sightseeing hops.

September 28, 20214 yr The upcoming Flysimware C414 and Milviz c310 look promising. But oops off topic. The tomahawk looks decent though.

September 28, 20214 yr I've instructed in a Tomahawk. They are not forgiving or nice. Unpredictable stall characteristics. You really need to make sure your student is all over stalls and incipient spins before you let them loose solo. David Porrett

I pretty much only fly around the T Tail turbo these days. Tomahawk will be good for the local sightseeing hops. I fly the Warrior more, I just use the Turbo for Mountains and really long flights. I do still fly the Standard Arrow for medium length flights under 10,000 feet but the Warrior just feels better and more realistic. The other low wing single I use a lot is the p149. The Grob Tutor is promising but still has a few things that need sorting. I also have the Carenado Mooney which saw a lot of use early on but these days it is a bit too generic and wish washy you may as well be sitting in an airliner it is too well behaved.

Any time I felt sorry for myself for having to instruct in a C152, I was still thankful I wasn't in a Tomahawk. The plane has it's proponents, but I had enough of a pit in my stomach sending a first solo up in the 152... I couldn't image how much that would magnify if they were let loose in a PA-38.

Some years ago I got checked out in the Diamond DA-20, and the CFI who checked me out wanted to demonstrate a spin. I told him that it probably wasn’t a good idea unless he was interested in wearing my lunch.
