So far I've logged time in three types. The C150, C172 and Cherokee Warrior. As I said I really like the feel of the 150. It's light and nimble and just plane fun. The only problem I have with it is, no matter how often I've tried, I can't get my chair in one. I don't particularily care for the 172 or the Piper. They both seemed heavy and stiff to me. Kind of have that "pickup truck" feel to 'em. I also find the ground handling more difficult with the Piper. I've never used hand controls in the Piper (I was flying dual with my CFI) so I don't know if that would make it easier to turn during taxi. I'm not saying that either are bad airplanes. They just don't appeal to me that much. I would not hesitate to fly either one if I needed a back seat. As for Mooney...I don't expect to ever fly one. (At least not until I win the King give away. ;-).)

Okay, I'm game.... Try it Mikey, you'll like it!! I looked for a long time when I finally got fed up with renting and decided to buy a plane. I flew a lot of different planes but none of them were 'just right' for me. They were all fun but they just didn't 'grab me'. I went up with a friend in his Ercoupe and after about 15-20 minutes in the air we landed and I wrote him a check for the coupe and the hangar. Boy did it 'Grab me'. That was 15 years ago and I still have the same plane. (With no intentions of moving down to any other brand.) Okay gang, jump in there and 'critique' me.
