Welcome to the club Ray. I think that you will find this forum very informative and at times entertaining. You will quickly get acquainted with a bunch of new ?virtual friends?, if you want to. It seems that for any question that you have about a 150/152 there is someone on the forum that has an answer.

One thing: don?t even think about converting your plane back to a tail-dragger with the tubular gear. TDs are hornery enough without the added aggravation of the wheels flopping around when you are rolling. Get some good ol? 140 gear legs.
