Club Homepage Forums Classified Ads Buy & Sell - Airplanes Only 1974 C150M TD

Sandy & I came across this airplane yesterday (12 April) and it's sad story. We were asked to help sell her due to our relationship with this Club. The widow is locating all logs and paperwork ... more to come. We don't know the key element yet that will determine price (i.e. engine times) ...

Here's what we know:

1974 C150M, TD (Taildragger)
2482 hrs on the tach
Patroller doors
Horton STOL
Skylights
Flat gear legs
A "No Plastic" painted interior
Older Cessna avionics with a ILS
PS Engineering, 2-place intercom
PTT (Push To Talk switches)
S/N15076467
N3341V
Fueling steps & associated cowl handles (not sure what to call these)

We'll start to compile more information & pics over the next couple of days as we receive it.

We're taking a purely supportive roll as the death of the owner is still very fresh for the widow.

If anyone's interested bounce back

Where's the airplane located?

6FL0 (Seminole Lake Gliderport); the new airport where we'll be based out of

Might have to take a ride for peak! ;-)

74M??? Flat gear legs??? Dead owner or not...does not add up...

M model had round gear and larger tail feathers....

Me thinks M models are 75,76@77....all unique to each
Year, but... No flat gear...(just saynnnn)

It's a taildragger. I seem to recall someone saying that flag-gear was preferred for taildraggers because it was less squirrelly than the tube-gear. Also, It looks like the gear legs were re-arched for greater prop clearance, which I'm guessing is not possible with tube gear.

Either way, It's likely the one who did the conversion chose the flat-leg gearbox either because that's what the STC called for, or that's what the owner wanted. Still, a good point-out and worth a buyer's time to check and make sure the taildragger STC paperwork is present and was followed.

OK, a tail dragger..... Whole nother story!!!

12/16....'74....Learn sumthen new every day....

Yeppers Bill, Sassy's TD (Taildragger) STC gave the option to use either the tubular gear or flat gear.

Sassy has the tubular, this bird has the flat. I believe this airplane has the same Texas Taildragger conversion (at least our visual inspection verifies all the parts seem to be identical)

As soon as we have a look at the paperwork we'll know

More to come

Any photos of the entire plane in the frame? I kinda like the paint scheme, like to see the whole plane for paint ideas.
