152 Aerobat

[Mark]

Think I'll see if I can squeeze into a 152 Aerobat
in the morning. I'm 6' 3". Think I'll fit? I ain't
flying bent over!

Can't you slide the seat back like a 172?

I have some long ago hours in an Aerobat and at 6' 2" don't remember a
problem. The seat went back far enough to accommodate me and a
parachute.

Legroom should not be an issue. However, payload capacity for two
2009-standard-issue pilots can be a problem for any 150 series Cessna. We need
more jockey-sized CFIs.

I'm a lean, mean 205. The plane's owner is coming along,
and I've not met him before but I gotta think he can't be too
heavy if he flys an aerobat.

I'm only 6'1" and the problem that I had in both the Cessna 150 and Cessna
152 was vision to the side. I had to bend way over to see under the door
and window frames--especially for any pesty little details like other
traffic.

I learned in a 150, and my instructor was 6' 2" and probably about 240. He
fit.
I thought all Aerobats were 150s.

Looks like Mark can supply the helium for free. :)

All 150s are stall/spin recovery capable - and they have even been known
to do a gentle barrel roll - in the hands of someone who knows a coupla
things.
There again: 150's have come back with a rudder pivot loose and
missing bolts, wrinkled skins etc., etc, in the hands of thrill-seekers.

Good grief. A flying post amid the dross.
I liked the old C150 (with the straight tail and the manual flaps).
We had an instructor who had all his students spin.
The recovery from the fully developed stall exercise got taught only
before the PPL flight test so we didn't alarm the "A" Cat. :-)
