Years ago, I bought, with a friend, a Cessna 120 and received primary flight instruction in it and flew for a long time with only a student certificate. When I decided that I wanted to take friends along, I took transition instruction in a Piper Cherokee 140 because my 120 did not have the right radios and other things. The FAA examiner said that maybe he would have to restrict me to planes with hand brakes. I responded that my 120 didn't have hand brakes and I was able to do just fine in it. He gave me the normal SEL without restrictions - but that was then and this is now - things have changed. j.y.
