The Beech version of the Traumahawk. Started my training in one (the Piper) back in 88 and then bought a Cherokee 140. I don’t think too many of the Tomahawks are still around. Can’t remember the last time I saw one.

The Skipper is waaaaay more robust than the Traumahawk. Did the majority of my early hours in the Piper variant, then got to fly the Skipper when I started a new job. The difference was night and day, in typical Beech fashion.
Good luck with the sale!!!

Username Protected wrote: Just curious. Can you do spins in it? The Skipper spins well, tho not readily (good article is AOPA Pilot, September 2002) and has a pretty benign recovery. At the factory we were required to wear chutes because the angle of bank exceeded 60 degrees. If you are late on aileron application entering the spin you will enter a spiral dive And recovery has to be started in two turns. Dave Edit: fixed some typos

What happens if you don't catch it within two turns, flat spin? …and you head out to sea.
