Bill,

Sounds like great series of articles for the club newsletter!

Welcome to Club Tim!

Thanks everyone for the good comments. A couple thoughts, I have. First, I would like to thank this group for the videos on YouTube. After I watched them, I just knew there was more to this group.

Second, I think I know the answer, but I will float it out there just to make sure. Currently there are two 150/150 listed. One on the clubs classifieds, the other on barnstorms. One has mid engine time, but looks like it needs avionics (radios/transponder), probably interior in general. The second has high time on engine, 1750hrs. Panel looks ok. My initial thought would be towards the high engine time with a overhaul in the next year. Someone else posted with engines, you never know really what you got, so an overhaul is not really a bad thing. Replacing radios/ transponder/interior would I expect cost about or close to a engine overhaul.

Also there's a 152 on the classifieds, I did the document search, and it has had three major incidents, I saw the word inverted in one of them. I can accept some history, but three seems like a lot, and the price seems premium. My first reaction is to run. Am I wrong about that?

Nothing says this one won't need an overhaul next year.



And nothing says this one will need an overhaul next year.



About says it all.

Sorry I'm no help.
