Q. As far as a training aircraft I don’t feel I will fit very well in a 152 as I am 6’2” and 210lbs. (OK, maybe 220) I am not familiar with a Beech Sundowner, does it have a larger cockpit than a 152?
A. The Beech Sundowner is a 4 seat trainer with 180 hp. It is very stable and a good fit for the larger pilot. It is very comfortable. It is a low wing and one of the few that has two entry doors. The cockpit is actually 2 inches wider than a Beechcraft Bonanza.
Q. How is insurance covered for your aircraft? Am I covered if I do something stupid and break something?
