i'm a new member on this site as of today. i'm looking forward in learning as much as i can about these little 150's.
i am in Canada and am in the market to find a nice 150 in the west. doesn't look like too many members are canadian???
well, i've seen all types of 150's now and am partial to the later models, H and up i believe with the newer panel.
i have seen a 150L for sale with about 150 hours on the engine since major... it was done though in 2000 or 2001 and as you can see barely flown since. oil analysis indicated improvement after about 15hours of running. could there other items to be cautious of?
airfram time is high 8,000 hours or so.
any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

the G model was the first with the updated panel.
There are quite a few Canadians in the club!

Anyhow, you've found the right place to help you buy a 150!

My 152 has over 13000 hours on engine and airframe, it has been well cared for over the years. I have not had any problems with it. Sometimes low time aircraft are the ones to avoid, they are not flown enough. Having a prebuy inspection by a good A&P is worth the money.
See you at Clinton?

According to Transport Canada the 2006 statistics from TC show an average of 33 hrs of flight time per year per private aircraft. It's not unusual to find such a low time engine after 7 years on a private airplane. There's a nice Aerobat 150K tailwheel for sale (27K$) in the september Canadian trade plane, right in BC. Let me know if you would like the phone number Fred

Good luck in your search for the perfect plane.

i am looking for a tricycle gear though. i am halfway through my training and want to continue on with it afterwards. presently i'm in a tomahawk.
asking price of the other one i was referring too was around $35k canadian. has a new 250xl and garmin transponder too. 35k seems high to me though. | | |
