If it wasn' t for the curvature of the earth the Cessna 150/2 would not get off the ground :shock:

Gr8-dad and myself flew one from Nooitgedagcht to Vredendal. Very intersting and long long long long (did I say long) take off run :shock:

I had a demo/intro flight in a 150 and almost did not do license as result. It is not made for 2 SA built oukes up on reef. :oops: :oops: esp if a couple craps behind and couple meals ahead. I am told they are a pleasure to fly at the coast.

I must say though that closest I have been to it in one of the new generation aeries was the X299 (Technam PS2002 - the low wing job). Not comfortable when you are used to 1500 ft per min as normal ops.... :wink:

Even at the coast you REALY need to know your density altitude stuff with the 150 :roll: :shock:

Once airborne an absolute beaut to fly :P . Hard to spin and she recovers hands-off :wink: Ideal trainer though.

When you push the throttle forward its like turning up the volume on the radio, lot's of noise but not much else.
