These planes look like clones of each other. I like the looks but does
anyone have experience in both to compare the two?



The Beech Skipper, in an unpretentious way, is a fine little airplane. It
has an excellent reputation. They seem to have gotten everything "just
right". The Tomahawk, sadly, is not a fine little airplane. It's crappy.
I'm sorry, but everything is wrong with this plane. The wing structure
has a definite design limitation - after the plane has flown a certain
number of hours, you just trash it like a beer can. I'm sorry to be
denigrating - I know there are people who have them and love them, and
even more who trained in them and have fond memories - but IMO it's not a
successful design, and not really very safe.
