Quote from George Abbot:

" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



When I got the FAA CD on the airplane there was not a clear paper work trail. I don't know if the Canadian records ever find their way into the FAA data base or not. Plus, the seller plead ignorance of the airplane's history. I never even saw the airplane so I don't know if the work was shoddy or not."

-----------------------------------

Where did I plead ignorance to the quality of work on the Aerobat that I have for sale George?


If you go back and read my posts you will find that I personally did the conversion and the airplane has been signed out and meets the standards under the regulations in Canada and the USA.

I read your background and note you have been in the business for fifty years and are conversant with aircraft maintenance.

Well I also have been in the business for fifty three years and my business is restoring, repairing and flying Warbirds and we get all our business by referral and the last thing I would do is screw somewone on something as basic as a Cessna 150.

If you read my posts you will find that I also stated that I personally did the conversion and am just a little annoyed that you would suggest that the airplane is not as I advertised it. I bought the airplane for my flight school eight years ago and the airplane has been operated under Transport Canada Commercial catagory maintenance schedules during this period.

When I bought the airplane the Canadian log book records started in Canada on Sept. 10/1988.

I was not to concerned about the previous log book records because I was satisfied that all the components such as airframe and engine and instruments etc. met the specifications for the AC type and if there had been previous damage prior to 1988 any components that may have been replaced met the airworthiness standards.

Anyhow when I came to this board I did so to get advice from Cessna 150 owners and have openly stated that I am not sure of what this airplane is worth on the market today, the area of aviation in which I work is quite different from the basic trainer aircraft such as the Cessna 150 and unfortunately I have kind of lost track of the worth of a Cessna 150.

I hope you were not suggesting that I came here to screw someone on the sale of a Cessna 150, because we burn more fuel in a season flying warbirds than the Cessna 150 is worth.

To the rest of you here thanks for all the suggestions , I think I will find another site where I can relate to people.

P.S. George, anyone who is really interested in buying my Aerobat has the option of getting an independant survey of the airplane and its records.
