I usually fly PA-28's but have about 1 hour in the 150 As u may know the low wing aircraft are much more sedate. The high wing cessnas are much more frisky and require more rudder. They are also much nastier in the stall, but get someone with experience to give u a good renidition of one of those, whereas in the PA-28 the stall is simply the nose dropping forward. The landing config is just the same although it has a higher nose up attitude. Another i found in my short time as a 152 pilot is that the controls seem to much stiffer than a Piper (that may have just been the a/c) but overall i think the low wing a/c are much nicer.....IMHO

Please dont take any of that as gospel
