The Cherokees have a higher wing loading, which makes them more "stable" in turbulence. On the other-hand, that also makes them feel a bit more "truck-like". The Cherokees are more comfortable in turbulence. OK, I agee with that. -- Regards, Ross C-172F 180HP KSWI

And if you REALLY want stability, fly a 235 in turbulence with 84 gallons of fuel in those short wings. We have flown with Warriors and 172s in "light to moderate chop" (per their reports) that we have never, ever felt. Wing loading sure helps in the bumps. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

I've been up numerous times where I hear lots of complaints about the ride while I am flying along comfortably hardly feeling any bumps. I've remarked a couple times when getting tossed around in heavier turbulence that I wouldn't want to be in a 172 then.
