I guess this is the modern version of the C152 that everyone’s been looking for?

This all makes sense to me except the toe-breaks on the right side; if this is for training, wouldn’t you want the CFI to have brakes??

“Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler”. Albert Einstein certainly must have had a hand in the design of that panel. Nice. Neat. Uncluttered. Right sized. Simple but no simpler than necessary.

As a point of reference, my 1979 Tomahawk (125 hp STC) provides 100 kts IAS on 6.7 gph of 100LL. Comfortable; unrivaled visibility.
Although it’s four times as expensive as the Traumahawk (purchase price), you get a brand new bird for your bucks. While I haven’t flown it, to me, this Colt looks like a real winner!

Ah. My Comanche only has a hand brake, but I’d not seen that on a modern plane.

$140k is a nice price-point. No cylinder-temp monitoring. Note this is not an IFR airplane.

Anybody have experience with it?

Anybody tried to use a touch-screen display in rough air?

$139,900 seems like quite a deal in this day and age.
