Thumbs up

I agree with Chicken6. I teach in the C152 and I witness a lot of people talking about "Buffet" in the stall. I think the word is missused in the C152's case. Buffet from a stall should be felt through the control column caused by the stalled airflow hitting the tailplane and "buffeting" the elevator, something that does not happen in a C152 as the stalled airflow passes well over the top of the tailplane i.e. high wing low tailplane configuration.
One of the best aiurcraft to experience true buffet in a stallo is the Bulldog - low wing low tailplane!

Interested to hear more thoughts!
