Shit, I learned in a Piper Tomahawk death trap. Fumbling with sectionals, post-it notes with radio freqs, shitty trim. Got my IFR in a Warrior, electric trim on the yoke, AM/FM stereo with a tape deck.........I was in heaven. Now, the avionics on a little Cirrus, is mind-boggling, touch the controls to launch and recover. I'm all for it, hand flying a a CX was taxing (at least to me), I got much better at it over time, but rolling into a VOR intersection took some time to master. I would have loved to scroll to the intersection and press a button
