"8000 TT, 60 hr time since Lycon rebuild, aux fuel, towhook, dual navcom, ils, intercom. All STC's documented, increased GW. Easy to fly, one of a kind airplane!" "$38,000 can sell with all banner tow equipment." I had my first two lessons in it then went on to rental and my own C-150M, I have seen it take off in about 300' or so, a really nice airplane. Although she said that the interior was a 5. I'll try to get a digital shot of her panel and interior. The outside pix was taken last february. The quotes are hers, she is a 15,000+ pilot and used it to tow banners etc. It is hangered here in California at O63 or Exeter Airport. It is listed in trade a plane and she is selling to buy a Super Cub. (She flew for awhile with the Coors Light BD-5 Jet team.) Any questions give her a call. Kathy Daily 559-562-2633
[color:"blue"] "Do you think it really is the tubular gear? It looks sort of wide." [/color]
I don't know, now! There are several conflicting clues.
The gear legs appear much thicker than the flat gear, and the flat gear does not have "brake fairings" available for the wheel fairings. But, these fairings look custom made, and the axles exit the gear legs low, like the flat gear. If you look closely, you can actually see a row of screws atop the leading edge of what must be the gear leg fairings. These fairings are either reversed, inverted, or custom made to accomodate the 140 style steps, but are used only on tubular gear. The fuselage to gear leg fairings appear to be the ones used on tubular gear. The wide stance (and lower nose) are another characteristic of tubular gear TD's. Not as much prop clearance! You will also note the wheel pants are parallel to the ground rather than the line of flight, which could indicate a modification to the mounting, which can be accomplished by removing and reindexing the axles in the tubular gear without further modification to the wheel fairings or their mounting plates (although I would have just redrilled the fairings, or better yet, left them aligned with flight attitude.)
The whole gear arrangement appears different from any I've seen on 150TD's.
Some folks fixate on gear legs, (although I did notice them) I look at the wing tips and wonder if it has the Sportsman STOL wingtips and leading edge modifications. Be interesting to see a full advertisement with all the details and more pictures. I'm not in the market, but I still look, as you never know when someone else will want one. It is pretty for a fast back. Big spinner looks nice too. Over all effect is more Pacer to me than 180, not that they made a metalized Pacer, but Yes, The N number is a great one. Bet it is fun to fly. Price seems fair.
