Default Primary training in a Hi Perf complex acft



Sheesh!

I though it had some endearing qualities, and still do. The nay sayers
really overstate.

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.
