The problem is fitting your legs under the instruemnt panel.

Legroom should not be an issue. However, payload capacity for
two 2009-standard-issue pilots can be a problem for any 150
series Cessna.
We need more jockey-sized CFIs.

I'm a lean, mean 205. The plane's owner is coming along,
and I've not met him before but I gotta think he can't be too
heavy if he flys an aerobat.

205 in a 152! Hah hah. You need a Zeppelin.

Looks like Mark can supply the helium for free.

Happy birthday balloons!

Good grief. A flying post amid the dross.
I liked the old C150 (with the straight tail and the manual flaps).
We had an instructor who had all his students spin.
The recovery from the fully developed stall exercise got taught only
before the PPL flight test so we didn't alarm the "A" Cat. :-)
