My first thought was that they were selling a 172, but a close look corrected that mistake.

My second thought was "Whoa NellY!" Of course it is an expensive bird, look at all of the toys they have to pay for. shocked

That bird has aquired a lot of attention here over the last few years because of the panel.

Here's the original thread!

Wondering if anyone can answer this, the instrument panels,, are they just a flat plate of aluminum, or do they have a lip around them like the plastic ones do. What happens with the little panel shock mounts?

Lionel,

The metal panel in my plane was flat... panel shock mounts remain on the left side panel... You can kinda see the flight instrument panel "float" in this picture...

PS... The panels are a "dressed" up version of the "sub" panel, the metal under the plastic panel...

that plane is priced $9k more than what I sold mine for... it does have an ifr enroute gps, moving map, two radios, and most importantly, it's a pretty plane... smile

No way I would ever pay that kind of money for a 150. No matter what kind of radios it has.

I dunno Jim... There's a lot of guys on the board here that have close to that money invested and half the equipment...

"great deal on a $22k plane"... 3 months later, engine overhaul, replace a radio that only crackles, re-upholster the seats, going thru a real annual... hmmmm, $40k+ pretty easy...
