LR35, OCTA & off RDR of course

As a few have said don't hate any A/C, all have their places in the aviation world & all have added to the pool of knowledge.

C150H out of EN during January 36+ deg's 2 up MTOW neg RoC at times & took 'till West gate Bridge to get to a 1000 ft! But man could you land that little toy plane on a dime!:-) A few of us at EN owned one & we charged ourselves $10 bucks an Hr inc fuel!
Off thread here but many years ago landed said C150 at a mates farm near Yark in Vic. for lunch. Did a low pass to check paddock out first looked long enough & clear. Landed & stopped in about 100 ft or less, was very hard to get the door open, why? Due VERY long grass!!! Took the rest of the day for the town folk to cut us a rwy thru the hay................experience, can't be bought!
