What is with the prejudice towards Tomahawks, I have flown Cessna 150 and Tomahawks and found our tomahawk is mach faster, quieter, more range, more manageable, better rate of climb, safer, and easier to land. My dad looked at many 150’s and decided that I we were going to treat it with respect and not abuse it, or spin it would be a far more practical plane to take us through of commercial than a mid sixties 150. Yes, many Tomahawks have been in spin accidents, with the majority being un-intentional, at low level with the pilot being at fault no the plane.
If people are too scared about being killed in spin accidents, don’t spin it. It is as simple as that, keep an eye on all you’re speeds in the circuit and you can’t go wrong. Even though the Tomahawk is less forgivable than the 150 it is far more advanced and more capable, also pilots flying the tomahawk find it easier to transition to a higher performance aircraft like the arrow. If you stay ahead of the Tomahawk you can’t go wrong
In summary the Tomahawk is far better than the Skipper and the 150/2 and despite what everyone says I think people are just stupid and prejudice to think otherwise
