Kieth had nothing to do with my PPL just the tailwheel.

1.3 Vs is fine, but as Vs is variable then a bit of thought should be stuffed in at least.
I'll go along with that, bearing in mind that the 152 was usually 2up & tanks full. one hr flight time average. Probably 1.3 Vs as a straight number for training purposes would be ok.
We were taught & I knew from way back to gliders that wt matters, but it saves on workload if you are not doing sums downwind on early solo.
So a bit of thought was stuffed in there in as much as a couple of knots for the wife & kids so to speak.
I'll look forward to meeting you at Perth when this wind drops a bit.
