It's almost idiotproof, has very gentle stall characteristics, sips fuel at a modest 8-9 gph, is a proven design and can be bought for a song in comparison to other aircraft. I hope to purchase a C-150 in 2006 because that's all the airplane that I need - anything more is a waste of money in my opinion. -- www.geocities.com/ralphsnart2004/index.html The plane that flys the most by far at our local airport is a 150 owned by a retired guy |
