Quote "152 is lighter and less stable, so that you must "work harder" to keep it straight and level"
give me a break, the 152 is the only A/C ever designed with the sole purpose of being a training A/C, its far more stable than anything else there is, even to the point where if you put it into a spin it will return its self to S & L without any input (As i had to prove on my FI(r) Course)
If your going to make comments on here know your facts first What Next....
Anyway, the I've flown many hours in both & the 152 is the better as its obviously cheaper but it is also simple & easy to learn skills in that can be transferred easily across to its heavier older brother!! the 152 is nicer to land & its certainly more fun, just my opinion but the choice is yours!!
