No-one told me I should be disappointed
Great!
But you seem to be telling
everyone here with:
it came as a shock how awful the C150 was after the gliders I'd come from
Why tell everyone here? To what end?
The trick is to keep the 'keen' PPL folk interested enough to complete the PPL
We agree on that, why expend effort to defeat that as you begin?
I'm saddened to hear that you're disappointed by 150's, but that is your privilege.
But you seem to want to repeatedly demean those who are happy to enjoy their 150's and similar compromise planes. I'm pleased to appreciate your love of Chipmunks, and would love to join you in a flight in one - I was thinking of your pleasing words about the Chipmunk handling, while I was enjoying rolling a Harvard last month - after 15 minutes of flying it for my first time.
But after 28 years of owning it, I enjoyed putting my 150 right on the displaced runway line yesterday, and with no fuss, turning off 200 feet later at the intersection. I taxiied to the hangar, and had the meeting my client. My cost and effort to fly myself to the meeting was negligible, and saved me an hour of my life otherwise driving there. The 150 did EXACTLY what I wanted it to do, and I was entirely happy about it.
Why cut down other people's pleasure in their flight?
What if you focused on saying only positive things about planes here?
