I started out on the Pa28 and made the move to a 152... Even after solo flights and quite alot of nav's in the piper. i found it extremly hard to translate to the ceasna. It took some 5 hours before i could go solo again i think it was. Its alot lazier than the 152. It will not stall, takes ages and as the lads said, will flot on for ages. the biggest difference i found was with the size of the two. The PA looks and feels about 3 times bigger, bulkier and slower. Now saying all this I've only been flying about 18 months or more roughly. About 60 on the piper and 40 on the cesna etc.. Of the two though i'll always come back to the piper. I like the more stable feel oh and exp in that time of two diff 152's aswell as the 161 and cherrokie
