Many 152's have been converted to tail draggers.
The "few" that have don't qualify as the "many" you imply.
Olson doesn't believe this but he's never flown an
airplane in his life.
Aux contraire, "friend". ISTR when you first brought up the matter, you
insisted (even argued) that the 152 *was* a taildragger. You brought up the
subject of "conversions" only after you posted the "typo - 150" message and
changed" your "toon" when I pointed you to the Cessna site. What's really
funny is that you also insisted that all you had to do was install special
main gear legs that "rake forward" to eliminate the nose wheel, when in fact
part of the actual conversion process requires physically moving the main
gear legs to the fuselage hardpoint under the main wing strut (the same one
they employ when you put the aircraft on floats). Your "knowledge" and
"experience" of flying didn't even include pulling on carb heat as a "first
measure" when the aircraft you "say" you were piloting experienced a sudden
loss of engine RPM's and started running rough.
As for my having "never flown an airplane", that falls into the same
category of "rants" as your saying I "work behind a counter at a small
distributor in B. C." or Paul's "wirless muzzling" ones. You fill this and
other newsgroups up with your lies, innuendo, and invective, then wonder why
it is people discount most of what you say (or wind up siding with the group
of people you frequently refer to as the "IB" in ASA). You're a sad,
paranoid, twisted, little man. If you weren't such an evil, malicious
bastard as well (sadly that's the truth, and *not* a flame), I'd feel as
sorry for you as I do for Paul.
