Hi All

Thanks everyone for all the input re safe heights when training.

Send Clowns. That is interesting about the c. of g. with the seats all the way back in the 152. I`m 6'3" and my instructor is probably 6', therefore we do invariably have both seats back. Next time I have the POH in front of my I`ll try and do some calcs and see where the c. of g. is on the a/c we were in.

Also, given your concerns about the low alt max rate turn I might just have a word to the CFI and see what he thinks of it. However, I don`t really want to drop my instructor in the brown stuff as he is very good in other ways..

Thanks again
