Let's see how long I can resist this one - my track record with JF isn't good. 😉

Three threads now to discuss the Tomahawk 🤷🏻‍♂️

Mine can be locked. Title says it all and I have no attachment to this particular thread.

Sorry, I almost regret saying it. I’m following all three threads.

Still haven’t had the time to get it so far - but I will now 😁 

Happy flying / deadly spins and blue skies!

I think a Piper Tomahawk would look really good with a Red Duster painted on the tail.

Ah, now I know why the Duke got delayed 😉

My guess?  From my recollection the Duke is slated to use some SU15 features.  Can’t release until SU15 is in production. The PA-38?  Not so much I believe so no issue releasing mid flight SU15 so to speak.

YMMV. TANSTAAFL

I won't be partaking but will be interested to hear whether they have replicated it's nasty stall characteristics.

I know what you mean. I don't want to fly this aircraft. It's slow. It's a basic trainer. There's noting here for me...but, it's JF and I love JF. Must...resist...arrrgh

My first VR headset just showed up this morning and I'm licking my lips thinking about getting into this thing as a sight-seer!

Oh it’ll be very good in VR, the real aircraft had excellent all round visibility as a design criteria.

A friend and I took one on a tour around the southwestern tip of Australia many years ago, it makes for a good sightseeing, touring machine , if a little cramped for 2 and rather slow. We would have taken a PA28 but there were none available at the time, it was still good fun though.

Oh bugger, I'm going to have to buy it now. 😂

EDIT: And I did. I lasted 24 hours. 🙄

The Stalls don't seem too bad, they are aggressive and the left wing really drops but the there's a decent amount of warning both from buffeting and them from stall horn and recovery is pretty straightforward without that much height loss.

But spins seem an entirely different matter. Easy to initiate with some rudder as the stall horn starts up and they seem to take an age to recover.
Not fun and unless you have plenty of altitude you are in real trouble.
