The 172 isn't harad to handle if you have nothing to compare it to.
You're learning in it and you're
used to it.
Later down the road when you get a chance to spend some time in a
coupe you'll see the difference. The
coupe is much lighter on the controls and like everyone says, it's like
getting out of a sedan or
stationwagon and getting into a sports car. They both hae some good
features but after all, isn't flying
supposed to be 'fun'?
