![]() Sheesh! I though it had some endearing qualities, and still do. The nay sayers really overstate. Peter I allegedly trained in one, and allegedly maintained 5 that accumulated around 15000 hours. It is a FAA type certificated airplane, other than that, they are semi-ugly to fly and fully-ugly to maintain. Again, since it was designed from a clean sheet, supposedly from input from flight instructors, there is really no excuse for how it turned out. Somebody (not me, not going there again) ought to stall/spin one and video the tail shaking and post it on utoob. Regards; TC I temporarily forgot about that last part... I never got to spin one, but a look back during a stall could give a guy religeon. That tee tail wiggled more than a Hawaiian girl at a Luau! I have heard that the Tomahawk was originally designed to have a conventional tail--which would have made it a much better airplane in several ways. Peter |
