  • I was quite concerned seeing how rapid the spin was from stall warning onset, until I realised that it was thrown into a spin by use of the controls for training purposes. Normally the stall warning comes on, the aircraft gets very sloppy, then the left wing eases over on the stall if you keep pulling back. Trainees need not be fearful of the Tomahawk's stall characteristics, just respectful.

  • @DJK290 Well ive been watching a couple of vids and it doesnt look that hard to get out of a spin. Simply wat u said.

    Problem with Tomahawks is not spin maneuvers, but entring unwillingly in spins. Plane was designed to enter easily in spin, i read. Other day here some kid got killed cos he took of, made a steep turn at low airspeed, stalled, spinned, and crshed flat cos he didnt have height to recover. in a 38 dont steep turn if ur slow. it can enter spin and kill you.

  • I like the mini windshield hot plate.

  • the one minute mark in this - a few years ago when i was working on my private in a t-hawk used to terrify me. Now as a CFI it makes me all...woohoo!. What a fun plane to fly!

  • I enjoyed doing spins in the Tomahawk. I think the instructor I had tried to make the spins more severe. He told me only to step on the rudder once the aircraft is shaking. This may have caused a more severe nose-down spin. He then also used to let me wait for three rotations before arresting the spin.

  • i just did my spin training today in the pa38, scary stuff! But i prefer the tomahawk to a cessna 172 not sure why

  • @apc467 the dash but its personal preference really

  • Tomahawk low speed + banked turn = deah by spin. Watch the angle of bank vs speed table on the manual and ull se what i mean. If i owned a flight school or plane rental id own 152s rather thank a tomahawk. I dont imply the pa38 is bad, im saying its a danger for the pilot trainee.

  • i know u

  • thats not you this is a scene from james bond

  • That wasn't much time between the stall warning and the stall!
