Traumahawk is not a bad plane, especially if you are goin to do IFR work with it then you dont have to get into tne scenarios where things can getout of hand. Enen then an incipient stall wont cause you any grief. Its when you allow them to get fully developed, ie 3 turns or more and aggravate them with a tucked aileron that things can get pretty ouy of control. As A basic IFR trainer you cant go wrong, they are very cost efficient because people ar eso scared of the stall/spin characteristics thar the prices have gone down. Its not really a big deal, its a piper after all. Take it out ,fully stall it,unload it,and thats all there is to it. In my experience a 152 will get much more wild than a traumahawk. Its a good litle plane, dont worry about it.
