With hundreds of hours on some venerable C150s I'm always amazed at some of the tales told.

A full flap GA in a 150 needs less push on the yoke than a spring loaded door.

If you land somewhere you can't takeoff from it's your fault not the plane.

Power Attitude Trim - follow this as a basic tenet and you'll not smite the ground.

In a glide approach with full flap you'll not get it past 80 mph - yes the flaps will rattle but handled correctly transitioning to the flare (big pull on the yoke) 300 yds is easy.

It's a toy that is like a best friend - always there for you always a joy.

God how I miss one.
