Hi Dan, The aircraft you mentioned, with out modification, have always fit the "LSA" rule.  The Cessna 150 fits the LSA rule save the gross weight.  Because of that it will never be an LSA ruled aircraft.  Even if you put it on a diet.  You can only be a virgin once... Gods Speed, J.E. Caudle

Dual sticks and retracts go together for me. When teaching grandchildren how to fly, for me it would seem most comfortable to have the throttle in the center for ease and access to both occupants and the dual sticks so that the center is free of obstruction for retracting gear. On one of my
