Regina,
Please don't be a stranger on this Forum. You've touched a number of people with your journey as a pilot.

I just sold the plane today, and the new owners, Tyler and Alicia Lott, are driving up tomorrow from Florida. I encouraged Tyler to join this club and get to know y’all. I hope he’ll get as much encouragement and advice from everyone here as I did.

I am looking for a right wing for my 1964 150 with manual flaps

I've done the same... Knots2U fiberglass droop tips with lights. Did that in 2005 and worth every penny.

A couple more pictures of the Knots2U Wing tips with the LED landing lights installed.

I will after the first of the year.

I second this.


The factory Cessna tips are plastic and overtime deteriorate to the point of becoming useless.

The Knots2U are fiberglass and far superior the the ABS plastic that Cessna used.

As Ron noted, you will also have the option to install landing lights in the wingtip (if you so desire) which is a great upgrade that several of us here have opted for.

Hopefully I’ve been able to add the photo of the hardware.

Any pictures of the panel and the interior Mike ?

Look into the Knots2U wingtips. They have both the newer style wing tips and wing tips with Landing lights in the wing tips.

Anyone have a serviceable pair of wingtips they're willing to sell? I have the symmetrical ones on my plane and I'd like to replace them with the more modern Cessna Standard ones that have that little bit of droop or cuff at the trailing edge.

I'll take it!. I private messaged you. Thanks.

Just in time for cold-weather flying season, selling my AlienX Turbo. Purchased in January 2021 and only used a handful of times.

Asking $500 and I'll pay the shipping.

Jeff, From what I see in the parts manual the original attaching hardware is #10 screws.
You do have a parts manual don't you?

Jeff theses are what I used for mounting, then sourced SS screws from Ace hardware

Thank you all for your thoughts. I like the straps from Shawn Taylor’s post.
I’m getting the straps themselves and the visors redone by a friend who does leather work.

Your most expensive annual will always be the first annual with a new A&P/IA or a new to you airplane with your IA. No A&P/AI is going to risk signing off on an old airplane that another AI signed things off on. He's going to insist on everything being right before he signs off on it.

So a strategy I've used in the past is - I have my IA do the per-buy and they basically do a full annual inspection. I make it clear to the seller that this is what I intend to do and...I will pay them their asking price minus anything my AI has to fix, repair or replace before signing off on it. If the seller won't agree to this, he is not confident in the condition of the airplane - I know I don't want their airplane.

Here is a picture of some I made for my sons plane. Leather over Kevlar paracord .

I think I got it.

The positive cable from the battery goes to the large terminal on the left of the relay.

A second cable goes from large terminal on the right of the relay to the starter solenoid then to the starter.

The small wire which is the ground goes on the small terminal.

Am I right?

Ron, (Stewart that is) I finally received my new Lamar P52-0034-1 Contactor. Just like the one shown above (4 posts)
First, thank you for all your help.
One more problem:
Could you or would you be so kind as to provide me with a diagram of how the wiring should be connected to the new contactor.
The new one shows the battery terminal being connected to the large terminal on the left side of the contactor. Old one was connected to the right side.New one shows the load terminal being connected to the right, large terminal.

Thank you, Dalton

Cessna 150's are nice in that you can open the Rt side window, reach across, pull the door closed, and then shut the window prior to run-up. An "Assist" strap would also be handy on the aft inside of the Rt passenger door. We ask new passengers NOT to close the door because they pull hard on the fragile door handle, stripping the splines on the shaft and bending linkages. Some of these parts are very expensive or "un-obtainable." For straps, check with a store that sells climbing equipment, or a good hardware store. You need high strength strapping or the internal chain type rope. I made mine from a 1" wide military litter strap.
Good luck in your "search" for a solution.

Jeff, Click below for 74 posts about assist staps from the Cessna 170 website. We also have 150/152 club members with other good ideas.
This data is from their "free use" section. If you wish to respond, search, or make inquires, you must become a 170 club member.
