In other words, by just listening to word of mouth these aircraft,like most higher performance aircraft, require to be payed a lil more attention, are unforgiving to complacency and are geared to a more specific market of speed sacrificing the versatility as found in your typical Cessna?

I dunno about any of that, they did OK in High Density Altitude FL. We often flew 3 people. They used the Tigers as initial trainer. Worked OK for the University...


Max!
