Thanks All,

I have to admit I have never been in a 150 or a 152. Yes, I know it's hard to believe considering I learned how to fly less then 20 years ago. The speed of the 150 is fine, as I plan on just puttering around the sky after work, day VFR with no place to go. I'm tall but skinny so I should fit.

First thing I did when I started to consider buying was to buy Mike Arman's book. It's a good read but left me wanting more information. Which is a good thing. Now I am trying to figure out how to tell a good plane from a bad one. I guess my next stop will be joining AOPA and find a local mechanic who I can talk to and get to do pre-buy inspections when it comes to that.

I have been reading every thing I can get my hands on including Charle's Early Cessna 150 inspection tips web page. As well as this clubs Forum. My take on the ownership cost really depend on how much the previous owner spent taking care of it not on the age or model.

I'm sure I will have more questions as I learn. Being new to the club, can someone tell me where on the forum is the best place to ask these types of questions?

Thank you

Chris
