Thanks everyone. The wife has actually been up in a 152. A local kid we know took her for a spin a year or two after he got out of high school. She seemed to enjoy it and didn't have any motion problems.
As I said, this is something that I have alway's wanted to do, but either didn't have the time or money. Now I do, so I start in February when I get back from vacation. I do want to be able to go an a trip now and then, but understand its weather permitting.
I talked to two different instructors at two flight school's and both said the 152 might be a little small for me and an instructor. I'm 6' and 200 lbs, and the instructors were about the same.
Prices for a block of 10 hours were, $70 for a 152, $75 for a PA-140, and $93 for a 172. Instruction is $45 per hour. The above prices may vary some with the cost of fuel.
He had some tailwheel aircraft in his hanger, but I think he is more of a collector, don't know if he rents those out or trains in them.
