Hey, I'm looking for a bit of advice on flying the Piper Tomahawk. I've heard some good things about the airplane such as the increased view etc... as well as some bad things such as the plane having a tendency to spin easier then most trainers, and the inefficiency the of elevator at low airspeeds. I know every plane has their quirks and it largely depends on how you fly it, I'm just trying to get a heads up. I'm going to be using a friends Tomahawk for some local VFR flights just to tool around and have some fun. I have experience in Pipers, and am close to wrapping up my Commercial with SEL/MEL and instrument. Any CFI's with experience teaching it, I would appreciate some input, but anybody who has extensive knowledge of it would be just as welcomed..

FYI (I'm aware of the the structural issues considering it, and plan to talk with him, I'm just looking for first hand opinions of its flight characteristics, things to look out for etc...)
