I know you can spin a DA20, but can you spin the Warrior? (safely and legally, that is).  |
Honestly, by the time you are a flight instructor all I have to say about transitioning is, "a plane is a plane is a plane." Each of those models have their individual handling characteristics and quirks but within about 5 hours of teaching slow flight and stalls in them you'll figure them out. If I have one word of advice for the Diamonds it's to ail your a/s on apch or you're goig to chew up a lot of runway
