What??!! Somebody on this forum might have an opinion?
I jes' gotta weigh in. Though that is getting more difficult. 210 lbs this AM!!! whoo hoo! Having the creeping cruds for two months has its upside!
ANYWAY .... there are things on the earlier models that I prefer. For instance, I think the paint-matched lower instrumental panel on the later models is hideous. I much prefer the plain panel on the '67.
I also prefer the shorter dorsel fin. I find Juliet just a little easier to land in cross-winds than some later model 150's (and 152's) that I have flown. That might also be the result of having the flat landing gear legs rather than the tubular. Maybe that is subjective, but it matters to me.
Then there are some other things ... I prefer the pre-selector flap switch. But I have learned to live with the plain switch with the indicator in the headliner above the door. I like the vernier mixture control. But that can fixed, if my Scots nature will allow ...
I also like the instrument layout in the later models a bit better. The VSI in the lower panel is not the best location.
All-in-all, if I were to buy another 150, I would probably be looking at the G model as the most desireable. But I already own a G model! How cool is that. My preferences don't usually work out that way.
