" Plus, if your airplane is Canadian registration, and you did the TW conversion in Canada there are further complications. When I was shopping for a TW 150 I encountered one that had been converted in Canada, and I gave it a pass. "
-------------------------------------------
Why did you give it a pass? The conversion is done under a FAA STC...was the work shoddy?
I personally did the conversion and it was signed out by a Structures engineer who works with me.
Our business is aircraft restoration, the last one we did was a Super Connie so a C150 poses no great challenge to perform this STC conversion.
Yeh, I agree tail wheel airplanes are more difficult to sell, but there are still thousands of them out there and people are still building them as homebuilts so eventually someone will buy it.
Man I just can't believe the that such a simple airplane is feared by so many pilots.
I guess it is indictive of who trains them, if the instructor is so limited in skills that a little tail wheel training airplane is beyond their ability to fly we can excuse the people they teach for thinking a tail wheel airlane is something exotic.
