Page 5, EOY 2015 there were ~2000 152s registered in US, so ~1500 now sounds reasonable.



Thanks Shihua for doing the research.

If ~1,500 is close to being accurate, I have to believe that odds will be high that the majority of these could/would have high time air frames (whatever high time means)?

If true, odds would be just as high that very few would be low time air frames (again, whatever low time means)?


The questions that beg to be answered is what is high time and conversely, what would be considered low time these days???


Regardless, these 150/152's are so much fun. whistle

What's the advantage of having a 152 over a 150?

A little bit more power. A little bit faster. Not as prone to carb ice.

Can up the hp for a lot less $$ than you can for a 150.
Less chance for carb ice.

I might also add that the odds of sticking a valve in the Lycoming O-235 or O-320 is much less likely than the Continental O-200.

I've never heard Lycoming called sticky.

This line in that article gives me a good laugh "Continental engine design is more resistant to valve sticking".

I believe that article is about big bore engines.

Did you miss this line?

As Hung said, I've been around this forum and 150's and 152's for a long while now and I think only 1 time I have heard of an 0-235 sticking a valve and numerous O-200's that have.
