Hmm...

Puts me in mind of my PPL flight test in a 152. Don't remember the W&B details but I must have worked them out before the flight. I weighed about 180 lb, about the same for the DFE who had given many tests in 152s. When asked to do an incipient spin I could not stall the aircraft. The DFE said "Here, I'll show you how", same result, aircraft very nose high, high sink rate, no stall. Passed, but I never figured out what the problem was.

Any takers?

After an excellent landing you can use the airplane again!
