Carl,
While I don't have the regs in front of me, a RTG to put more passengers on would definitely require a call to the dispatcher and departing without it could lead to FAA action against you. Think about it. You put more bodies and weight on the airplane. Your takeoff data is now voided and you would be taking off with invalid numbers. Think the FAA doesn't care about that? We used to have the 1000# slop to cover this, but no more. In the end though, why would you need to know the actual regs wording? Common sense dictates the call. You changed the condition of the original release by returning. CYA at a minimum.

You can teach someone to fly in a RV. They are a higher performance then a 152 or other trainers. I would recommend through solo in a 152/172. If training is a goal look at the RV9A. You give up aerobatics in exchange for more Cessna like flying characteristics. I know several people who have however earned their entire private in a RV. The tandem RV's are not suitable for instruction due to the lack of rear seat brakes. You will need a side by side which means a RV6/7/9. Maintenance is much lower since you can do it yourself and there is almost always local RV guys who love helping out. Experimental parts are often a fraction of price of certified parts!

Will the new ADS-B rules have any effect on these smaller airplanes such as the 150/152 or RVs, etc?

It's airspace-specific, not aircraft--so it depends on where you want to fly that C-152.... With the broadest of brushes (not intended to be all-inclusive nor guaranteed 100% correct!): Class A, B, C; above 10,000' MSL; and within 30 miles of a Class-B airport--you'll need to comply. If all your flying is in rural areas away from larger airports, you don't.
