Traumahawk positives...
You can pick up a pretty new(er) 1980's plane for the price of a 1960's C-150 with about the same amount of airframe hours.
The traumahawk has a Lycoming engine (this is a plus to me since I favor Lycoming over Continental)
A little bit more cabin width for todays more modern, wider butts
Easier to fuel.

Traumahawk cons...
NO resale, if you bought one you would likely get out of it what you paid for it...but dont expect it to appreciate like a C-150 probably would.
Throw away wings.
They are ugly.

Other than the fact that a 150's and 152's are a little cramped for the big butted and long legged...it's hard to find any REAL faults with them. Unless you find an absolute killer dear on a Traumahawk, get a 150 or a 152, they will be a LOT easier to sell down the road if you ever want to get rid of it.

It's funny how a Beech Skipper, which is practically a mirror image of a Traumahawk, will fetch 10k or more on the market than an identically equipped/hours/ect Piper.
