What's the Cessna 150 equivalent in the rotor world?

Crazy market, eh?

It certainly is. It makes me want to go get it. I'll appreciate having both tail wheel and retractable time. It could be useful with insurance in the future when I get my "forever" plane (Piper Lance)

Yup, noticed that too

Well, we don't have as much options here in Canada as in the States. There's a Globe Swift for $35, a Luscombe 8A for $38, a C150 for $43 and some others below the $50k mark that I've set myself as maximum purchase value. But I'm not on a hurry so I'll wait and see what else comes available.

Thanks for the advice. Got curious as is the first one that I saw listed with such high airframe hours.

As much as I love them: the fact that in case of an engine failure it will fall like a rock, is more than enough for me to stay away.

Searching for an hour (confidence) builder plane, I came to this one: https://www.controller.com/listing/for-sale/206079693/1979-cessna-172n-skyhawk-piston-single-aircraft A 79' C172N with 14.500 total airframe hours. Probably from a flight school. I'm not interested on buying it but I got...

Yup. I can't speak on the etiquette part as some folks are harder to reach than others, but on the legal side: as long as the airport/airpark management doesn't restrict hangar space sub lease, you should be able to do it. I'm pretty sure some folks will be happy to have an extra income to pay...

Waiting times can be really long in the LA area and other large cities, not to mention really expensive. Have you though on looking for someone who has a large hangar with some space available that you can rent?

Will it fit?

Well, is a 46 bird and I will like to extend his life time for some more time. Engines can only last so much, even with overhauls. Honestly, my main concern with old engines is that spare parts will be harder and harder to get. That's why I was thinking on adding a new-ish engine. I'll take a...

Hi guys, the J-3 is one of my options as a first plane after my PPL is completed. I found one (1946) at TAP that currently has a Continental A-65-8F (65 HP, 1800hr TBO) + a McCauley 2 Blade. See pic below. I'm planning to squeeze that engine until the end, but what will be a good engine option...

What plane is it? You can go to hangarflying.com and put all those instruments that have been recommended on your panel and get a first look at it.

Weell, was going to list a few, but just saw the video on @Daleandee 's post above and I don't see any now LOL

More like range, useful load, number of pax and other technical limitations.

Yup or move to Experimental and deal with it's limitations

Yup, and Textron is an expert at buying when cheap

Sick pic. How long is that strip on the carrier?. Looks like a great landing spot :p
