I've got some time in PA-38s and I don't like them. I particularly don't like the T tail. When I was doing Wings weekends when a PA-38 showed up I passed. I was seriously spooked by the articles in Aviation Safety about 5 or 10 years ago having to do with spin accidents and discussing the differences between the certification articles and the production airplanes. I also read the more recent article in Aviation Safety which I did not find too satisfying.
