I am looking for a 150 with 150 HP engine with a STOL kit installed.
see prior post for details this is why I want a 150/150 with STOL.



Funny you should ask. A friend of mine just wrecked her 150/150 with a
STOL kit on a 1300 foot strip at her home. It was marginal with two
people aboard. The strip is at 3200 MSL so higher than yours but not
that much different. The 150/150 is no good, a regular 150 is a
hopelessly poor choice. Can't be made to fly straight in straight and
level flight, the rudder is too small. She had the 1960 Patroller
model, that one had big tanks. You got the wrong plane. You need at
least an older 172 for your mission.
