Ed's advice is good, but will be difficult for me. I am taking my flight instruction in my own 2 control 415C. I am going for Sport Pilot, not Private. That means that, while I can train in a C150 for those last few hours, I still must take the test in a "sport pilot compliant" 3 control plane, which the 150 isn't... I would need to find a 3 control "sport pilot compliant" TRICYCLE GEAR plane to get both the last hours of instruction and the flight test. That will be difficult to find. So I may end just doing it all in my 415C and getting a "restricted" spoort pilot license. Due to the sport pilot plane weight restriction I won't be able to fly most planes out there anyway...
