The cessna is a workhorse... plain and simple. It can take a beating and still perform perfectly. I did all my single training in the cessna and loved it... My .02 cents.

Well Pre-first lesson (last week) I sat in both again and still felt the Piper was more comfortable to sit in (with the exception of the trim wheel), I guess everyone is different as most people on here prefer the Cessna.
either way....I had a blast

on a slightly different subject...
I know most people advise not to take out loans/finance etc to pay for zero to hero courses, but what about taking money from a 401k loan to get through the PPL/IFR? I was thinking that this might be a good way to quickly get it done and get onto commercial, ME, CFI etc, while allowing me to actually get in the air!
