Why do you say a C-172 is less stable. I have a '65 model and find it
quite stable. And, I am familiar with Cherokees as I got my commerical
using the -140, -160, & -180s.



The Cherokees have a higher wing loading, which makes them more "stable"
in turbulence. On the other-hand, that also makes them feel a bit more
"truck-like". The Cherokees are more comfortable in turbulence.


OK, I agee with that.
