I have owned this plane for 8 years. It has been a great time builder but now my growing family needs something bigger. I might be interested in a partial trade for a 170B. The paint is in good condition. Better than average when compared to similar year airplanes. I think it was probably hangared for some of it's life judging by the condition of the paint and interior. The interior is in good shape with all the carpet and seats in great shape. The plastic panels have a few cracks in them but are still fine. It has always been a fun, easy plane to fly and relatively inexpensive to operate and maintain at 6 GPH in cruise. It has the rudder stop AD complied with so it is fully capable of spins and most positive G aerobatics (loops, rolls, Immelman, Cuban 8, Split S).
I just had buyer back out at the last minute, I think because of medical issues, but he had a thorough pre-buy inspection done by a reputable shop at Lake Hood. After the inspection, I had the shop finish it up as an annual. There were only a few minor squawks that I already took care of. The mechanic said that it was one of the nicest 150's that he has seen. It would save a buyer some money if they wanted to just call the shop and ask them about it, and I can email you the squawk list.

Very very nice plane and a great price as well !! In discussion of aircraft purchasing I always stress the importance of the buyer's attitude and commitment toward the care of the aircraft. So many people on this forum have well cared for aircraft and your Aerobat is an excellent example of that type of commitment.
As a fairly recent purchaser of an Aerobat.... one need look no further than yours. I hope you find a worthy owner that will care for her for years to come. Good luck !!
Thanks Gene, it really is a nice plane and I will be sad to see it go. I would keep it if I didn't have 2 kids fighting over who gets to go with daddy on the next flight. I forgot to add that I have an experienced pilot/A&P friend that would be willing to fly the plane anywhere in the U.S. for the cost of gas. He has been using my plane to get his instrument rating through the winter so is familiar with the plane and is one of two people who have been allowed to fly my plane without me there. I figure it would take about 100 gallons of gas to get to Seattle from here at 5.5 GPH (less if you fly higher) so that would be about $500-600 to fly it that far.
