Thanks for the advice everyone! Maybe I should consider the high airframe 152 trainers after all. One of them has 2310 SMOH, 179 STOH lycoming 0-235 engine. Perhaps a sparrow hawk overhaul could take me close to my 150/150 desires. Looks like Geoff has got dibs on the 150/150 listed on here.
Does anyone know someone who could do a thorough pre-buy for me in the San Antonio area, and what should I expect to pay him/her?
I love this forum. Wasn't aware of the Sparrow hawk STC until yesterday .....
