The Cherokee is the only plane I've every flown that could be flown

the stall.


Straight wing or taper wing?


Both, although I have much more time with the "Hershey Bar", or
constant cord wing which is the much more docile of the two. Higher
sink rate too:-)) In my experience the tapered wing Cherokee is less
forgiving, but still one of the most docile out there when compared to
other 4 place planes.
