Thanks Geoff. My usual excellent timing...I have flown mostly cessna 172s, citabrias,150s, and about 30 hrs in a 120. Always enjoyed flying the rental 150 more than the 172. More responsive and fun. After serious self reflection, I think the 150 best fits my budget and mission (I fly alone a lot). I want something I can afford to fly and also afford to take care of. VFR stick (or yoke) and rudder guy. I just like being up in the air.
I had never flown a 150 until I bought mine. I had gone flying a few times with a longtime friend who has a 150 and did a little yankin/bankin from the right seat, but otherwise all my time was in 172s and a few hours in a Citabria. You and I (and so many members here!) like the 150s for all the same reasons you mentioned. I just got my 150 two months ago. Life is good. I hope you find a good one. The good people on this site made it very easy to get mine looked over VERY well, and they even brought it right to me! This is the best club you'll find anywhere on the internet. Good luck in your search. Don't fall in love with an airplane until it's too late.
