... Not at all. I train out of Cullman, AL in a C-152. So far the training is going good. I did have a time getting used to rudder work (and still do occasionally) but its getting much better. So, what do C-152s rent for out there in Cullman, AL? |

Cullman right now rents a C-152 at $70.00 wet. Think the price will be
coming down real soon. CareBear "Grumman-581" wrote in message ... "CareBear" wrote in message ... Not at all. I train out of Cullman, AL in a C-152. So far the training is going good.

In 1976 I could choose between the ole 150 for $15 or the new one for
$16. -- Gene Seibel Gene & Sue's Flying Machine - http://pad39a.com/gene/ Because we fly, we envy no one. Grumman-581 wrote: "CareBear" wrote in message ...

In 1976 I could choose between the ole 150 for $15 or the new one for
$16. Back then (or not too long afterwards) I could get a Cutlass for $33. Oh, those were the days. Alas, I was a student and couln't take full advantage of the deal. ![]() Jose -- "Never trust anything that can think for itself, if you can't see where it keeps its brain."

From a percentage of my equivalent hourly salary, renting a 152 these days would be cheaper than it was in 1976... Around then, I was probably making around $5 per hour, thus 1 hr flight = 3 hrs work... These days, it's closer to a 1:1 ratio... |

I've heard some people say that when you account for inflation gas is relatively cheaper now than when gas was 25 cents a gallon or whatever. I think that's a load. Mike W PP-ASEL-IA N45663 |
