I trained on DA20's, then transitioned to PA28-161's then to a 172SP. I found the 172SP supremely docile compared to the DA20 (obviously) and more comfortable to fly than the PA28-161, primarily because of front visibility and ease of entry/exit. In terms of how to fly it, it didn't sink...

I'm flying out of Southern California (KVNY) so as of right now, the NOAA reports have confirmed: we have no weather. That being said I usually watch the METAR's and TAF's the day before the flight, and the trending of the wind movements through the previous day, just to get a sense of what...

Let me know if you find a Cirrus partnership. I fly out of KVNY as well. I love it to bits.
