Cessna 150 & Hot, Humid weather

[FlyFastLiveSlow]

6'3, 200 pounds here. My CFI was 5'10 and 160. We flew 150's out of a 1950 feet runway.

I'm 6'3" and when I step on the scale I pass 250 with speed (between 275 and 285 depending on the last time I took a crap). My instructor was about 6' 200 and we fit inside fine. It was a little tight, but not too terrible. We did the weight and balance and couldn't fly on a full load of fuel. Waited 'til someone else burnt off some gas and then he checked me out so I could fly solo. So, I did most of my dual in a 172 and all of my solo in a 152. Saved a few hundred bucks. Just get the POH out and do the caculations yourself to see if you can legally fly. If you can then you're good to go. If my shoulders (which are pretty big since I play football) could fit in there with the instructors, I don't see why yours wouldn't.

First 150 Flight, no problem

Just did my first flight on Saturday in a c150 with ~6' ~170lb CFI. Didn't seem to be a problem at all. I'm hoping the other place calls me and asks why I haven't shown. >

Thanks for everyone's input.

Why wait?

Call them and tell them you are flying else where.
I wish I can find those low prices around the Chicago area. 172's go for as low as $95 in the area.

Which is exactly why I'm doing this while I still live in Iowa!
