Niall,

Go fly a Skipper and come back and tell us if you still think it's a carbon copy of a Tomahawk.

I agree that they both look like carbon copies and the speeds will be similar but that's where the similarity ends.

Beech built a substantial airframe on this little guy considering it's a 2 place trainer.

I liked your George Jetson comment...funny grin grin

This is why I like this club, I keep learning. My only exposure to both (BE77 and PA38) were in my line service days. I havent flown or wrenched on either. I'm sure its a safe bet that either plane flies different than other Beech/Piper acft that I have flown. That being said I'm sure it would be best if I flew both planes to compare. Seeing how I have no access to either, I doubt that will happen anytime soon. laugh
