I also soloed in a Tomahawk. I hated the bungee elevator trim. We were deep stalling it one time and the instructor was looking out the back window ans said the T tail was twisting back and forth and that we would not do that again.

There is a reason they were called "Trauma-hawk"!

Congratulations!!
 
Terrific news.

And you're going to love flying a -9A. Still can't get over how much I like mine. It does so many things so well, and is just plain FUN to boot. :)

I used to instruct in that Tomahawk back in the mid-90's at ELZ.

Wow small world. I remember really liking that tomahawk, but I was 16 flying a plane for the first time so I would have liked anything probably.

Same here. I soloed N9284T, the other Tomahawk we had. But 77K had the nicer paint job, big tires, and a Mode C transponder.

I probably spent about 500 hours instructing in them.
