Useless airplane. With full fuel, which is what, about 28 gallons; you
have a payload of less than 150 pounds.

26 gallons. Full fuel gives you much more than 150 lbs. Empty weights
of around 1000 and a gross of 1500 gives you two FAA standard people
and full fuel.

I'm still waiting to meet an FAA standard person over about 35.

Gross on the 150 is 1600 pounds, but empty weight is 1060 with the O-200. Add
some radios and an Imron paint job, and we're over 1100. Stick an O-320 in it
and you've just added about 100 pounds to the empty weight.

Should be more like 250 pounds.

Not in the 150/150. That could be a great plane but desperately needs a
gross weight increase.

So do Elisabeth and I. In fact, I didn't get up to 170 pounds until I was past
50.

Hey, me two :-)

If I train in a 152 my instructor needs to be tiny - cosmic string fragment
tiny.

I was being facetious, but people have gotten taller and heavier since
the FAA last defined a standard person.

Personally, I'm a little over 6-2 and was barely a FAA standard person in
high school.

If the FAA says I weigh 170lbs, who am I to argue.

I would like to thank the Present owner and the
Previous owners of such a fine little Aircraft for
the knowledge they have shared with us about
their first hand experience with the 150/150
TAILDRAGGER. Only one poster actually
aswered my post.

That made a great one, the Cessna 140. A great, fun plane to fly, much
better than the 150.
