Cessna 150 (2 available)

The C150 is the most popular light two seater trainer aircraft in the world! It has nice, light controls inviting a new enthusiasm to proficiency maneuvers. Steep turns can be made without heaving at the controls. You can go right up to 60 degrees and hold altitude and bank angle perfectly with mere flexing of the wrist. Practicing stalls keep you on your toes. None of the docile mushing exhibited by the Pipers - you actually have to use the rudder pedals to keep the wings level, and the nose drops down in quite an exciting fashion! Zoom climbs and gentle pushovers have you soaring like an eagle by just subtle wrist flexes with your left hand and a gentle push of the throttle. All the 60 degree banked turns that have been practiced make demonstrating the 45 degree ones most instructors ask for trivial. The stalls make you razor sharp on stall recognition and recovery, especially on aircraft with a bigger aerodynamic warning of the stall. The 150 really rewards you if you use nice, gentle and smooth control movements.
