But his project is to be a Sonex, not a C150!

If I build again, I'd put the Duckworks on both wings and do a wigwag. I have one Duckworks landing light and turn it on in the pattern but the wig-wag is supposed to scare off wildlife too. Right? Since I don't fly at night, maybe I'll put the landing light on a flasher relay just because its more ...

Thanks, in the shopping cart.

I built my Waiex to be night VFR. But to tell the truth, I haven't flown at night ever in it and don't plan it either. Last time I flew at night was when I was training for my PPL. Its fun, but just not something I find a need to do anymore.

Engine is run out. Avoid unless you get a really, really good price and are ready to spring for an overhaul.

I use full forward stick to get the tail flying on takeoff roll. The only other time full forward stick is used is to dislodge wayward cross country Cheetos from the bowels of the seat pan. Accidently, of course.

You guys make some really good points. I guess my major concern is huge hidden costs. I have to do more research on the 150's but it might be a good option. It would be nice to have it park at my local airport that is 5min away versus driving 50min to the airport where I am planning on flying. I wi...

Yeah, there's risk, but that's why we fly right? Good points on maybe getting in to partnership to cut ownership costs in half. Keep in mind too that even though you are renting, most FBOs require supplemental insurance, not included in the rental, that will run you a bit. The one big benefit of ren...

When I finished up my 100 hours in my C150, I ended up trading it for my Waiex kit. Which was a good thing because it was so much fun to fly, I wouldn't have had much time to work on the kit.

I have been looking at old 150s for sale. I have heard this a bunch of times. my local 150 rents for 90 an hour wet. How many flying hours does it usually take to get a ppl? would I really save that much money? what is the overhaul and annual cost of a 150? I could potentially afford it now but in ...
