What do you not like about _____________ (airplane)?

I HATE that flying a C172 is about as much fun as watching paint dry... What a god-aweful turd of an airplane.

Alright, real post:

Embraer yoke. Could never get used to it. Hated it in a crosswind, resented it the rest of the time. :)

That damn 402 and its brakes. Might as well be from a 172. Why should a piston twin have an accel/stop distance of 5000+ feet on a warm day?

Agreed, can't stand that yoke. Some guys love it, but I hate the thing.
 
Well in MSFS, I REALLY hate the A321's CDI when I'm flying the ILS to miiinnniimmuummss. I end up chasing it all over creation when I'm coming down the chute.

:sarcasm:
 
do they really have to make trainer aircraft just an inch too small in every direction?
 
Beech Duchess - because the taxi lights are worthless for taxiing at night.

Piper Aztec - because the ass of the seat isn't long enough. It always feels like you are going to slide off!

Well in the case of the 172, I'm sure they do it so that you'll buy this. (A fine airplane, by the way, with none of the deficiencies IMO of its little brother.)
 
I wish the geniuses at Saab had put a light to indicate when the P3 is in high mode so I wouldn't have to do a P3 test.

I wish the fire handle on the saab was more flush so I would hit my head on it all the time.

I wish that the engineers had considered some one larger than a chinese acrobat when getting in the seat.

I wish I had a little closet thing like in the cockpit like some of the crjs.
 
Cherokee 140--the best description I've heard of its climb performance is "like a monkey a coconut"
Piper Seneca II--the stock autopilot does a fantastic job of doing steep turns around the radial you have dialed in (at least in the one I have time in...)

Hey Now!! Them's fightin' words!!!! Actually I own a 140, and the climb rate does suck, especially in the summer. It isn't a huge problem because usually I'm the only person aboard.

My biggest bitch? The seats in the cherokee 6, the square wing, the 100lb baggage limitation, and the bajillion-position fuel selector.

Piper built the '6 and realized they'd forgotten to put wings on it, so they hastily threw together the cheapest, easiest-to-manufacture, and least-efficient wing their engineers could cobble together in one caffeine-fueled 10-hour work day, and went with it. And it's only 100 lbs if you plan on pulling 3.8 gs- figure on a normal flight you get 2.5 max, that gives you at least 150 lbs up there :sarcasm:. The fuel selector is what happened when they realized that the PA28 tanks wouldn't be sufficient to actually go anywhere with an IO540, so they just thew some tip tanks on rather than re-design their wonderful wing.

Landing gear only an engineer could love.

Why the 172 hate? It's like a Honda Accord- It's not blazing fast, and it's sure not sexy, but it gets from A to B and you won't break the bank doing it.

DA-42...worst. seats. ever. Sitting on bricks is more comfortable.

AGREE times eleventy billion!!!!
The DA42 has a lot of quirks to it. The only 2 that I could never learn to appreciate were those gorram, ruttin, worthless piece of crap seats and the rudder "pedals" (actually 1/2" bars) that would kill your feet during single engine work.

I concur
 
Dont like the 172RG. Would have done better puttin 200 ponies underneath the hood instead of 180. They dont call it the gutless cutlass for nothing.
