Club Homepage Forums Classified Ads Buy & Sell - Everything But Airplanes Cessna 150G for Sale

The time has come to say goodbye to 6254S - my 1967 150G. I've purchased a 172 now and just can't afford two airplanes. That's the only reason I'm selling it - it's a great airplane and have really enjoyed it for the last several years.

6254S has 3588 TT with approx 360hr SMOH. Radio is a 300 nav/com and a brand new Narco 165AT transponder w/code C. (not shown in pictures) I've never taken the loran out of the panel - will let the new owner remove it and put whatever they want in it's place.
Hey - I still have my confederate $$ too -
Annual as of 3/11. Logs since day one. Lots of parts manuals, documentation etc will go with the airplane.

Price is 20K. Has external oil filter, Niagra sprag clutch and is very clean. No corrosion.

There's a guy in the AOPA forum who is looking for a 150 or 152. I'll steer him your way. He's from the Ft. Worth area.

Great - thank you very much -
Rodney

Good luck on the sale Rodney.

Forgive me if you've already done this but do you have any pic's of the 172???

I may be in the same position as you soon! Will have my 150G for sale it it happens, though I wish I could keep both planes.

Hi Rodney. Good luck in selling. I went the other way a few years ago (always have done most thing backwards!) and sold our 172 and bought a 150. I like flying the 150 more than the 172. It is way more fun for me. I do sometimes miss the extra room and weight carrying ability, though.

Jim - I bought a 1965 172F. It had just undergone a very extensive annual at G&N aircraft in Griffith Indiana. Flew up to Chicago on Southwest last Thursday and brought it home Friday and Saturday. Got a late start Friday from 05C so spent the nite in Springfield,MO.

I bought this for several reasons: The 150 was just a little too small in the cockpit for my wife and me. She just didn't really feel too comfortable in the 150 and felt confined. I was really encouraged when I landed at home base with the 172. She immediately jumped into the passenger's seat and mentioned how roomy it was compared to the 150. The seats in the 172 sit much higher up off the floor compared to the 150 and I think that helps a lot too, besides the cockpit being wider. She hasn't been flying in it yet, but I am hoping that the smoothness of the six cylinder continental will also make a difference. I'm really pleased with the engine - it is just as smooth as glass.

Also, my brother just retired from Raytheon in Tucson, Az and is moving to Conroe Tx. We haven't been able to spend any time with each other for the last 30 years, other than the occasional holiday, so I wanted to get just a little more cross country capability so we can visit more often. I can fly down there in a couple of hours instead of driving for six or seven hours.

I've all ready started my list of items to change in the coming year. I'll probably add an oil filter to the engine, and then I will remove the ADF. It doesn't work (knew that when I got it) and put my Garmin in an Airgizmo dock in the panel. Finally, something I just want, but don't really need is an FS-450 fuel flow meter. This airplane has the Horton STOL kit on it. Really lands differently from the 150 - just doesn't want to come down on final - floats forever. So, I'll have to get in several hours of T&G's to get up to speed.

Thanks for asking
Rodney

NICE!

Ohh, and a six cylinder 172 - they have a great sound!!!

Rodney,
I went through the same process with my wife.

I really loved my 150 but it was too snug for my sweety so we got her a 182.

Now she rides in the right REAR seat. We shove the co-pilot's seat all the way forward and she has first class leg room. The CG shift aft also makes landing easier (not as nose heavy) and we pick up a couple of knots of air speed.

I hope that you enjoy your 172 and will hang around with us in the 150/152 Club.
