Hi, I'm Richard.
I should start out by coming clean, I don't have a Cessna other than the 150L I bought from the insurance company for the O-200. I fly an Aeronca Champ with a C90, and have an exp. Champ project that needs an engine. I did learn to fly in a 150, and think the 150 is very underrated as a fun affordable flyer, if that helps. I'll add that the 150 I'm parting out is not one that could be put back in the air, the fuselage is way too banana shaped.
So I'm pretty up on Aeronca parts, but I don't know much about what bits and pieces are commonly needed for a 150. I've been reading this forum and have learned a lot, so I thought I'd join and see if I could sell the stuff I don't need. The wings, flaps, and ailerons are junk, but there are 13? gal fuel tanks and a flap motor. The tail and wing struts are fine. Fuselage is broken in 3 places, but the cowl is okay. Engine mount is broken, but the nose gear looks undamaged. Main gear looks good, but I'm keeping the wheels and axles. Brakes are for sale. Doors and seats are okay, and there are belts and seat, but no back, for the back seat. Last October a new Michel MX300, and a PMA 400 audio panel were installed. Also new seat belts, speaker, and the plastic cover over the trim wheel.
So you get the idea. I should also say that I wont be real fast if what you want requires a lot of work to remove. This is my hobby, and it may take me a weekend or two to find time. The upside of that is that my prices will be based on somewhere around half of whatever Wentworth is asking. I'll take lots of pictures and send them first, but if you don't like it when you get the part, you will only be out the freight to send it back, I'll refund the price of the part.
So there is my crass marketing pitch. I fly out of Creswell, Oregon, and if you want to drop by and see the parts first, that's even better.
Regards
Richard the Aeronca Guy
