Gentlemen...
One more piece of the puzzle to deal with. I'm making inquiries into every possible resource, and a representative from an aircraft manufacturer has flat out told me (via email, I've never met the guy) that I won't be happy using a 150/152 as an instrument platform due to it's lighter weight and wing loading. He also brought up the small useful load as well. I understand all of these items and they all make sense (I know a 172 is heavier and more stable), however; there are a lot of sweet IFR 150/152s out there, so that indicates someone is happy with them. Also, we're back to the price issue, and a very nice IFR 150 is still many thousands less than an average VFR 172, and that translates into flying time! Help guys... what's the real deal on using a 150/152 as an IFR trainer?
