I don't subscribe, and there's no way I'd pay 12 bucks for a download.
Too bad, I'd like to see if they attempted to rip apart a great little
plane.

Marco,

I had(have) some of the same feelings, while a 152 will get you in the
air,
it will not get a 2nd glance. Like Greg Burkhart, I'll also add my vote
for
the venerable Aircoupe ( or Ercoupe depending upon the year). Here's
mine -
http://www.hinessite.com/aircoupe.htm ,for more go to
http://www.ercoupe.org, and http://www.ercoupers.com .

It will outperform the 152, and is way cooler! The bubble canopy will
give
you great view too. A 1965 or 66 Alon Aircoupe will cost you $20K -
$25,
leaving plenty out of that $35k budget for hanger space or tiedown, $100
hamburgers, and cool aviator sunglasses ;-)

Regards,

Mitch

Flight by machines heavier than air is unpractical
and insignificant, if not utterly impossible.

Actually I have another question: can you tell me what's the max G-load it
can withstand? Does the POH tell you?
