Imagine you were looking to buy a plane. Let's say you found this plane:

1965 150
150hp conversion
Taildragger conversion
STOL Kit installed with fences and drooped leading edge cuffs
Manual flaps
Straight tail
Re-arched landing gear that sat taller
Shorter prop so there was no RPM band restriction

Interior 4, Exterior 2-4, TTAF 14000, TTeng 2000/TSMOH 2000

One radio, say an MX300, and a transponder.

Whaddiya think. Sound like a ball of fun or what? This may or may not be fictitious, I'll never tell anyway, so don't ask.

My opinion has already been formed, so you're not likely to sway my thinking (supposing this plane exists), and it's more of a fantasy question anyway.

I'm replacing a 1979 C-152, nearly completely stock. Insurance money burning a hole in my pocket.

Opinions, please.
