My first instructed lesson was on a C150 (N704FE) which barely got off the ground with two persons on board and full fuel, not to mention the terrible heat and humidity there in August - overall a horrible aircraft, and very dangerous - and that was their ONLY C150 available for me!
704FE was my favourite aircraft when I was out there - nice and light on the controls, and everything worked! Flew her many times, and she never let me down - pity you didn't like her.
(iirc, according to the POH, she shouldn't have been able to get off the deck with full tanks and two up on a hot day anyway!).
Far better than the heavy Aerobat they had with the flap gauge built into the door frame - that was a bit of an experience to fly. Did my skills test in that one.
Fun times! [
