Interesting listening to different pilots experiences and opinions.
I know of at least one member here that turned their "twitchy" 150 taildragger into a well mannered one simply by realigning the landing gear.
Just a few weeks ago I was chatting with a 152 taildragger owner who says he always wheel lands his airplane for the airplane runs out of rudder authority just at the wrong time when doing a three point landing.
I have heard it told that on the taildragger that the flat gear is much more predictable and pleasant on the ground than the later tube gear. (I do know that has been my experience with tricycle gear.)
Adding on to my personal experience in going from a "doggy" 152 to a relatively "perky" stock 150 to a 150/150 is that when I inputted the controls into the 150 or 152 there was an over all "mushy" feeling where the airplane seemingly was thinking whether it really wanted to do this or not where the 150/150 is like it has been put on rails, you input the controls and that is where it goes!
Different airplanes + different pilots = different opinions?
