hi mattari
After you are through flying the C152 you will say: gee, maybe a few bucks more is not so bad for the warrior.
Let's look at the turn from base to final (is that what you call it over there?)
You drop the wing in the warrior and you see more and more of the airport runway. You drop the wing in the C152 and you see less and less.
Some of your current scanning patterns for traffic will be way off as you really can't see so well in the C152 as the wing is in the way for the climb.
no electrical fuel pump. fine. but if the plane cracks up, the gas is on top of you.
OH, and get use to that lawnmower style throttle, carb heat and mixture.
It will be less comfortable and you may bump your head on the wing or wing struts. Oh, and don't slip when you climb on the strut to look in the gas tanks.
The reason you are switching is money. The best thing you can say about the C152 is that its cheaper. Like saying I'll take girl "A" out because she is a cheaper date than girl "B".
hmmmm
and yes, some will disagree with me and good luck to you all.
