But darn it, I can’t remember who said it, either. Can you imagine the change in W&B with a watermelon rolling into the tailcone? How do you fix THAT? Put both feet on the yoke and push? But then what happens when you get hit in the back of the head with a watermelon!? Nearly spit my coffee out imagining that scenario!!! I HOPE you'd be able to roll the melon back forward without launching it into your melon... but yeah - 20 pounds way back there would definitely make for some interesting flight characteristics. 150M C-FJBN

I could see doing that for my M model - too, minus the hat shelf. smaller of course... but maybe it will seal off the cold air from the tail cone better. 150M C-FJBN

The hat shelf was part of the D/E models. Starting with the F model in 1966, Cessna moved the bulkhead back one bay, put another floor piece down in the open space, and removed the hat-shelf. That made for the big, wide-open baggage compartment of all later 150s and 152s. True that. The problem with the D and E models is the baggage compartment is smaller than most newer models. I think someone in Alaska extended the baggage compartment aft on their "E" model. I don't remember who it was but it seemed like a lot of work including drilling holes and riveting in a larger section of floor. More work than a lazy old bastid like me wants to do. With a mile of highway, you can go one mile. With a mile of runway, you can go just about anywhere.
