All my pilot buddies seem to think that a 150 or 152 is a waste of good money, but as I expect to be doing the majority of my flying alone, it seems that one of these birds will allow me to affordably build time and pursue an instrument rating.
Since most of my flying time is alone I think the extra 3 to 4 gal per hr fuel
that a 172 uses over my 152 sparrowhawk is a wast of good $$$
With fuel prices approaching $3.00/gal thats $9.00/hr x 100 hr/yr = 1 annual inspection !
And my cruise speed is not much lower than a 172 either (100kts)
