Well, let's see.......one time on a hot day in Nevada off of a dirt strip we watched a Grumman, (Don't know which type), go through the fence at the end of the runway while we in our "heavy" 100hp 150 departed quite handily. grin But, even with this, I will apologize when I questioned the Grumman as being an "awesome" airplane and put a plug in for the 150-152 on this 150-152 Forum.

Sheesh LIGHTEN THE HECK UP will ya?

I gave 600+ hours of dual instruction in an 180Hp Tiger (not Grumman at that point) I LOVE teaching in the plane AND it was the first airplane other than a Citabria or Cessna 150/152 I ever taught in so I was a bit reluctant to like the airplane...

It was an amazing performer, you had to get it really slow and feed the power in slowly to get a power on stall. I became VERY impressed with the design and execution of the airplane. We fueled them to the tabs and that gave them about 2 hours endurance so we had lots of excess power.

But what do I know?

Max!
