Yes it does, especially with the straight tail.

Just might be the prettiest of all Cessnas

25 years ago, was already like that.

Like air cooled Porsches

How much? where do I pick it up

Absolutely a beautiful aircraft

Yes It went nuts especially after the the popularity of Internet tailwheel channels and off airport bush type flying.

Great idea, Juan! But, you'd better hurry ... this plane won't last long. - Don the Camera Guy

150/150s are underrated planes.

They are very underrated. Great planes.

Glad you like them!

Thanks for keeping them flying!

Yes, I will add prices. A lot of people ask for that.

Those were the days.

Will do.

High praise. Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks. It's fun.

Glad you liked it!

The instrument overlay is ALL Don the cameraman.

More to come!

Retro.

It was gusty here too and we had a frost.

Glad you like them!

Thanks.

Thanks for sharing

Thanks. That is Don's genius. Sometimes they are not very accurate.

That was a control line plane. I had those too. They are fun.........Before the crash.

@@skywagonuniversity5023 Yes, I remember control line planes. And I remember the crashes. I had a really nice Stuka that I had saved up all my money to get and on the first flight the elevator got stuck and I watched the most beautiful loop until it wasn't. The 'toy' I'm talking about is a different thing. It was basically a handgrip that contained batteries, with a rod at the top connected by a pinion so it could revolve around the top of the grip. At the other end of the rod was a C-150 that had a small DC motor powering the propeller, and the plane would then 'fly' around the circumference of the rod. It was a simple thing, and I wish I could find a picture for lack of description. I also had a Boeing 727 'model' that had a 4' long fuselage and corresponding wing dimensions. It had motorized landing gear that also retracted, opening doors and rear airstair, and audible engine sounds. My dad was in the USAF and always came home with some really cool toys. I'm not always sure if they were for me, or him! LoL!

Glad you enjoyed it

It's a great plane.

David just finished a '64 for my buddy last november. David Lowe is the king of those conversions in my opinion. We're local to David so we get to see a lot of his work.

Interesting.

Yes it would.

You should!

I read the Tripacer was kicking butt on extremely strong sales, enough for Cessna to revamp their idea's and copy Piper with the tricycle gear.

Get it back in the air.

They are very nice planes. Then put a 150 HP Lycoming in it.

Glad you enjoyed it

You should find it and buy it back.

@@skywagonuniversity5023 I will in all likelihood find it and make an offer, but need to wait a year or so. Geographical & career situations are fluctuating & it's not a good time to buy a plane. Your 150 is _awesome_ and I'll likely be repeating my viewing of your wonderful video many times the next few months.

I flew a C150 Texas Taildragger with the 150hp conversion. That STC also removed the spin restriction. It made questionable off-airport operations easy. I even flew it from Atlanta to Oshkosh and back in the early 90s. Useful machine with those STCs. Your dad did great.

@@SR-et8zx Thank you so much! Yes, increased utility was one of the main benefits. We sold many kits to Alaska pilots. That was one of the greatest times of dad's life, going through years of development & testing to earn a few STCs. These little Cessnas always were praised when we'd fly to airshows & set up a table & try to sell kits. They did well for a short time, but ultimately performance mods for little Cessnas didn't sell well. Normal 150/172 owners are often flying on a budget in the first place.

I think so too!

@@skywagonuniversity5023 I too live in Placerville. Would love to meet you.

Yes it does.

Those would be interesting planes.

It's a 140 with 40 degrees flowlers. Very nice it is too.

I used to live near Kidlington. Thruxton has it's runway inside the racetrack doesn't it. landed there years ago in a Seneca on Christmas even loaded with ice. I was not the pilot.

@@skywagonuniversity5023 Kidlington isn't a million miles away from me now. Yes Thruxton has the race circuit on the outside, in the early 1980s it was in decline, although there was lots of other activity on the site. I've driven the race circuit in a Morris Marina van, aged 14 ✌️😄 The circuit is used a lot more again now. To get to Thruxton from any local airfields used to take one through several MATZ at about 1000'. Thruxton had some great Christmas parties there too, back in the day, iirc. I have to say that your part of the world looks stunning - not sure if I could cope with the extremes of temperature though (being a Brit). Fun airfield you have - stunning✌️😊👍

That is Don the camerman.

It does!

Yes, you have a much larger baggage area in a 150 with a rear window.

Yes, they should have.

Thanks 👍

Thanks. We'll mention this kind of thing in future videos.

Yes she is .

Very mini.

Thanks for the sub!

Or a Kitten.

@@skywagonuniversity5023 Puppy. Definitely not a kitten. Distinct character difference.😎

Youngster.

You're welcome

He was right.

@@skywagonuniversity5023 yes sir, I think so.

It sure is!

Yes it does!

yes, or someone can bring me one.

Yes "attitude" is trim (and maybe my attitude.................)

Hi Colin! The overlay is a representation only. It uses the GPS data from a GoPro and isn't 100% accurate. I didn't have a good shot of the airspeed indicator to create the dial, so I was guesstimating the numbers for the overlay. No intent to mislead ... it just isn't accurate to begin with. - Don the Camera Guy

It was an 0-200

We've an opportunity to film a Cozy II coming up. Will that work?

@@skywagonuniversity5023 that'd be awesome!

Good question because on a 180 or 185 there is a "back" and "front" to a dipstick. Floatplane (on floats the plane is level) on the back between the two "X's" and quarts for wheels on the front. The 150 has a roundish oval sump that is lateral across the underside of the engine so the oil is hardly in a different place when nose-wheel or tail-wheel.

They would be about the same.

I'm no mechanic but I've seen and heard that only one of the caps should be vented. I'd call the Cessna pilot's Association and speak to a guru about it.

Manual flaps are better.

That is where they already are

Me 108 taifun

@@alanbrassard5927 just guessing, it might have been an old Bellanca 14-3 or similar.

Thanks guys! It was at LEAST 50 years ago, and I was just a kid. But I do remember standard yokes, not sticks, and a crank for the landing gear not a lever. Looking at the old Bellancas the '47 Cruiseair might be it. I found a couple descriptions mentioning the gear crank.

Probably an early Mooney, they had manual gear retraction, with an electric option coming later.

It may have been a sud gardan horizin, gy80. I owned one for a while, 19 turns to the left wound the gear up, 19 to the right put them down. Gear was connected to the flaps. Look up VH YOG, that was mine.

Apparently so does most of the planet.

It does. Both are so close in performance in the right hands.

The air must be able to get in through the caps as the fuel goes out or a vacuum will form in the tank and the engine will quit.

I'm curious what he meant by that also. Not familiar with too much venting. Every Cessna I know has two vented caps.

A small one.

The 0-200 is 96 HP, people just say 100 for ease or math and remembering.

Yes it would.

That would make it nice.

The 0-200 is 96 HP. People say 100 for convenience. How much could four horses pull anyway?

@@skywagonuniversity5023

Not as much as a kit tail wheel conversion on a lot of other planes. It's 140 parts on a 150.

I thought 96 HP.
