An interesting bit of research that exists shows that the apparently very similar C150 and C152 have a factor 3 difference in PFTS, with the lower force C150 having a roughly 16 times greater rate of fatal accident with a contributory stall
Previous discussion is a little out of my range, being a simpleton. Might the 150 having 40° flap available compared to the 152 with 30° have anything to do with the results? Is that the reason Cessna reduced flap travel across most/all its range of high wing aircraft? Flew the 150, 172, 182 for many hours in my early days and never had a my God moment using 40°. Fat, dumb and happy perhaps?
The attachment states 40.1% of the accidents occurred during a go around, and a Cessna needs a BIG push on the yoke during that manoeuvre in the initial stages.
