Oil pressure is about 40 PSI at idle and between 45 and 50 at cruise.

Good luck, Dan.

I'm afraid my C-150 wouldn't be much faster smile. I sometimes long for a little more speed as well. Usually, I can fly in roughly half the time of driving. Adding going to the airport, preflight, etc., and ground transportation issues on the destination end, for my trips flying versus driving is usually pretty much a wash.

Dan,

Nice job on the "G", beautiful work

It may be a hard sell with the high time, and after the overhaul at $39K, a tough point to reach.

We just bought a 172 with 580 since overhaul for $35K. The price point you set puts it in competition with lots of other aircraft that a larger and faster.

Just saying, it is a sweet airplane, good luck.

John

Looks like a prime canidate for the Lycoming. If you get your AI and can round up the parts. Correctly propped I have all the speed I want in my 150G. Well, maybe not all the speed.
With as clean as you have made that plane, 135 mph at 9 gph is very possible.

John,
You are right. You can buy something faster and four place IF that is what you want.
The taildragger 150 is a specialty aircraft. Hopefully some one will want a good one.
It is always good to hear another's opinion.
