I'm going to after I get my private and a few hours. I'll have close to 100 
when I take my checkride.

Yup, and they have less dihedral than a 172, which is also notoriously 
stable.

At low airspeeds most planes don't react as usual to aileron and rudder. 
Trying to level the wings with the ailerons induces more yaw than roll, 
making the problem worse, and using the rudder to yaw does a better job 
raising the low wing because of differential airspeed. However, 150s don't 
have enough dihedral to be able to roll with rudder input, so it doesn't 
work that way.

And I could really use aileron trim. My right wing is a bit heavy. Suppose I 
could talk my A&P into rerigging the right wing, but that would take a 
while.
