The full range of aviation anomalies can be better demonstrated, taught and mastered in a Cessna 172. I'm speaking of stalls and spin avoidance training in particular. This comes from a guy who gave way too many umpteenth thousands of hours of instruction in both.
Piper designed the Cherokee almost too well for liability reasons. As a result, coordinated full stall breaks are rarely similar to the full stall breaks Cessnas demonstrate. They are more like shaking imminent stalls. Kudos to them for the design but students are provided a disservice when their experiences are limited by aircraft design & placards that prevent the recognition and recovery from spin entries.

Reason: Grammar.
