I even had the opportunity to ask Budd Davisson at an Oshkosh seminar what his thoughts were on the Tomahawk/Skipper line of airplanes. Still, I liked the bubble canopy and the looks of the t-tail.

I knew full well the reputation as the "traumahawk", as has been pointed out. I had an infatuation with the Piper Tomahawk/Skipper when I started looking at airplanes to purchase.
After it had been designed, tested, and recieved FAA certification, Piper changed the design by implementing fewer wing ribs, causing the wings to flex in a stall, and causing unpredictable behavior. Piper had some serious quality control problems with the Tomahawk. I'm even kinda unsure about flying in one. I have no intention of ever buying a Truamahawk Tomahawk. And it is quite alarming! Yet, I've heard from experienced Skipper owners that it loves grass strips. When you get in the Skipper, (Unless you're taller than me) You can't see the nose.Īnother con is how small the prop clearence is to the ground. I do like to be able to look outside and point the nose to a certain pitch attitude. The biggest con to me, was the sloped nose. It probably had better qualities as a trainer. Maybe Beech should've kept the low-tail configuration. The first Beech Skipper prototype had a standard tail. It had a very solid, yet fun and light feel to it. My instructor said he was impressed with it, as was I. But there has been fuel problems with them.įor a side by side comparison: This is the Skipper I flew.

I have just modified one external link on Beechcraft Skipper. Thanks again Irokin 09:56, 28 April 2006 (UTC) External links modified It does make sense that it would have to be in a dive to hit it now that I think about it.but yea Ive still got alot to learn. Yea thanks for that, of course you are correct :) Im now completely confused as to where I got 106kts from?!. Better yet, just look at the airspeed indicator the red line marks Vne. If you want to look this up, you'll find it on page 2-3 of Section II: Limitations in the Pilot's Information Manual/Handbook. There's a lot to learn.) It's by design that you would have to be in a dive to hit the red line. That's one of the things about being a student. (You were probably thinking of some other V-speed, or have the wrong definition of Never Exceed Speed. The Vne of the Beech 77 definitely is 143kts. That happens a lot.) I've flown Skippers as an instructor they're great little airplanes.

I'll check my skippers operating manual next time I fly. Ive found other pages that say the vne is 106kts. Also these sites say the Vno (max structural cruise) is 109kts. In every case the data is layed out virtually the same. Seems the 143kts Vne comes from one source that appears to have been copied all over the internet. Youd have to be in a dive at full throttle to hit 140kts!!! Irokin 10:31, 23 April 2006 (UTC) I fly skippers as a student and Im fairly sure the Vne is 106kts.
