No argument there...!!!
I could safely scare people with those 40 deg of flap!! Altho the book nos. are not much different, the Warrior seems to be faster at the same power levels... (both have 150 hp engines and wheel pants)... and our 172 was considered one of the fastest around here... It was well rigged,- feet on the floor cruise... Warrior seems more stable in the roll axis and requires less attention in rough air... It appears we need an extra 150 ft to get off and on the ground, and if that makes a difference, I (personally) have EITHER plane in the wrong place... Now , regarding crosswinds... In my hands/feet, a clear winner here seems to be the Warrior ..... It certianly feels better anyway. One landing last weekend was on a narrow rny... 15 G 20 knts... I have about 100 hrs in Warriors, 140's and Comanches years ago... and always felt morer comfortable in x-winds with the low wing and the shorter landing gear... Initial impressions only.. We still learning for a while yet...
