It has been a lot of years for me being in either of these types
and I'm sitting here daydreaming of getting something low cost and economical to put around in.
aside from the obvious conventional gear vs training wheel, I'm curious about a compare and contrast. What do you think of when you consider these types?
I did my PPL in the 152 and 150...and have a little time in both 120 and 140...but not a lot.
I don't remember anything about the seating and comfort, except that it was shoulder to shoulder with the instructors. I don't remember being horribly uncomfortable otherwise. I was a lot younger back then, wonder if I would hate either or both now form that perspective (climbing in, seating position,etc).
The last flight I took in a 152 it struck me how bumpy the ride was on a windy day. With the lower wing loading I'd suppose the 120/140 would be even worse.
