I hope this won't sound offensive, but the Cessna 150 was one of the
very few airplanes I really didn't enjoy flying. I flew it because it
was, at the time, one I could afford.

We've all been there, done that... It's one of the common denominators
among many of the pilots out there today... Just like the J-3 was many
years ago... Nothing quite like having 450+ lbs of instructor +
student in a 150 or 152 with full fuel, trying to takeoff on a hot
Texas summer day... Yeah, I had an instructor that was perhaps a bit
too large for a 150 / 152... I remember once going out to practice
stalls and with just myself in it, I couldn't get the damn thing to
give a hard break... Full aft stick and all it woiuld do is kind of
flutter downards... Hell, it probably would have even been
survivable...
