Hi Everyone, Here's an update on N61112 A.K.A Bud...

I just flew from Iowa Falls IA to North Platte NE. (Funny thing David, I was doing my fuel calculations as well while I was flying past ORD NE today...

So, As some of you may have guessed I took a wild risk on buying a Cessna 150 sight unseen other than pictures of the plane and pictures of the logbook showing the last annual (October of last year) Well, in one week I've flown 14 hours in Bud... Fuel burn-wise I'm burning about 5.1 Gallons per hour and 3 Quarts of oil... (not sure if this is a high burn rate on oil)... I'd be having a conniption fit if my turbine were going through oil that fast.

About the fuel/oil burn. I've noticed a White coating on the outside of the exhaust and the inside looks quite grayish white. Is this normal?

Today was the first time that Bud and I have flown in temperatures above 35 degrees... and I'm happy to report that the Oil Gauge works!! as I saw it rise once the temps started to get above 40 degrees outside.

Earlier on I had posted about my "Anemic radio" well,,, today right as I was passing BBW and ORD I noticed a loud "Squeal" whenever I tried to transmit... and then approaching North Platte I was unable to pick up the ASOS and also unable to transmit... so landed NORDO.. at KLBF... Really not very fun.

after landing I tried troubleshooting with no success... that was around 5pm today... I just went out to the airport and checked the radio again and it now works just fine. The radio is an RT-328t
