Cessna had about 800 140 fuselages left over and told the designer, we want a newsheet two seat nosegear trainer, make it brand new. OH yeah you need to useup those leftover 140 fuselages.

Never seen a 120 with anything but a yoke. 140's had rag wings, with metalflaps and ailerons. 140A's had all metal wings of the now familiar doubletapered design of most later CessnasJack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia _____

Looking back on my own recent flight training experience, learning to fly isn't about training your left arm to merely work the throttle back and forth and your right arm to control the plane. or vice versa. More about training you reflexes and senses. I got my PPL license in 24 days and started in a J3 Cub. Soloed that and moved up to the C-150. Soloed that a mere 3 days later, totally reversing hand controls. Didn't even think about to be honest. A big factor is that when you learn in a plane like a cub you're totally outside the plane. No artifical horizon, turn coordinator, VSI etc. Everything becomes second nature and moving onto other planes is a breeze. Charles B ----- Original Message -----
