Hello all,
Just had a quick question--I've been flying 172's for all of my training, and being just about finished, I'm looking into joining a flying club in my area, and the one that I found has plenty of planes (several 172's, an arrow, an archer, and a 152). However, the 152 is by far the cheapest to rent, and I'd love to be able to fly without paying that much (something like $79/hour). Unfortunately, I'm 6'3-6'4, 200lbs. Would I be able to fit in the 152, or will I be forced to keep renting 172's (which cost an additional $25/hr)? Also, what's the learning curve like from a 172 to a 152? I'd assume pretty low (maybe a one-hour checkout?) but any input would be appreciated.
Here's the link to the flying club: http://www.condoraero.com/default.html
Thanks,
Eric
