Complete logs. I have copied the logs as *.jpg images and can send the images on a CD for review. I have flown this plane from St. Louis to Key West, FL; to Oceanside, CA; across the Grand Canyon; to Page, AZ; Devil’s Tower, WY. Always dependable. There’s not enough room in the hanger for two planes, so I’m selling N8526J so I can put the wings on the Zenith 601 XL that I’m building.

Now this is a shocker, John!

Is everyone dumping their 150/150 to buy 150WW ?

John, is your Zenith 601 nearing completion?

The airframe is. I've completed everything (as separate sections) except the canopy. So I need to put it together and mount the engine and instruments.

I'm really excited about getting the 601XL finished. It will weigh about 700 pounds empty, have a max gross of 1320. With me (220 pounds), Jeanene (115 pounds), 30 gal of fuel (180 pounds), I'll still have 105 pounds for luggage. And it should cruise at about 132 mph. (Put in 25 gallons rather than 30 gallons, and it has more luggage capacity than the Cessna.) The wing loading is about the same as the Cessna, so turbulence should not be any different.

What I think is the real advantage is that I can do the condition inspection, and I can change anything whenever I want without a lot of happy hooray. I cannot mod the wings, change engine or probably not the propeller. But almost anything else I can do without a lot of paper work.

On the other hand, the Cessna 150 has given me 5 years of flawless service. If I had my druthers, I'd like to keep them both!

Which engine is it going to get?

Jab 3300

Neat, I like those Jabirus. 100+ hp in a plane that light.... fun! How about prop? Fixed, ground adjust, or electric adjust?

Wow! Two 150/150's here on the market for under $30,000!!

For LSA the prop must be fixed or ground adjust. I'll probably go with whatever is in the engine kit.

I've already had a pilot from Brazil look at the N8526J. He buys small aircraft here and flies them to Brazil. He flies them by the island route, so the extended range of the 14.6 gal auxiliary tank was a plus for him. He had purchased a Cessna 150 the week before and was getting it prepped for the flight.
