A friend who owns one and a Baron offered to let me fly his 150 this afternoon. After start up we taxied out to the runway and took off. I did ok on lift off and then we flew east a short distance just to get the feel of the plane. Then we came in and I did two touch n gos before the final landing.
The second T&G I know that I kept the nose wheel off the pavement during the entire ground time.
Every time I turned I tried to look around for traffic the wing got in the way. The visibility is very different than the 6A. Control forces took a bit to adjust to but not that difficult. Overall I felt that I was not flying it as smoothly as I do my 6A.
It was a lot of fun to fly a Cessna again since that is what I learned to fly in but it makes me appreciate my 6A even more.
