That's right, all my life flying airplanes owned by others! So, I may think of buying the right C150/152... I've heard of the importance of a good pre-buy inspection, but before I even get to that step am wondering about how to best filter choices to avoid wasting time and trouble. Since my tolerance for maintenance headaches and costs isn't very high, I'm wondering if I should even look at a 1975 C150 with 1780hrs SMOH (for example)? Or, a 1969 C150 with 1200 hrs SMOH (assuming the seller is saying only positive things)? It seems like such questions depend a lot on individual factors as well good sense, but if anyone wants to share their two cents, I'd be interested in hearing!
