152 Aerobat
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! --- Mark |

The seat went back far enough to accommodate me and a parachute. |

The problem is fitting your legs under the instruemnt panel... 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. Vaughn |

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. --- Mark |

I had to bend way over to see under the door and window frames--especially for any pesty little details like other traffic. Peter |

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. Brian W |

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. :-) |
