Digging the tail wheel look on the C-150 Heavy. I’m having fond memories of my initial flight training at the Hemet-Ryan Aerobatic Flight Center

Had to pull the nose strut (after painting) to re-seal it. Of course is only started to leak “after” it was painted. Now I get to enjoy re-painting it since the hydraulic fluid has ruined the new paint...[emoji849][emoji35]

I guess it could be worse

Don't let Vash see that bamboo picture, it may give him flashbacks to removing his.

Not Bamboo.

It's an Areca Palm.

Can you ditch the nose wheel and just put one on the tail?

If the STC wasn’t so bloody expensive, the Sparrow-hawk conversion would be sweet.
To be honest, I love the feel and challenge of the conventional gear setup. In the beginning, it was Citabrias, Decathlons, L-19, a splash of Steerman with a T6 chaser.


Not sensible doing it when it actually would be more financially sound to find one already done. Heck, if I’m dreaming.... how about a 150/150 STOL with long range tanks [emoji1]. The plan is to sell and trade up to something a little sportier..........and tandem!

Heck, better yet...[emoji848]

Giving my hand at polishing my spinner. Stripped all three layers of paint(surprising how much lighter it is).

Step 1: 320 wet/dry
Step 2: 400 “
Step 3: 600 “
Step 4: 800 “
Depending on the outcome
Step 5: 1000 “
Step 6: 1200 “
After that.....???

I’m on step 1.5
