That's my hope and why I'm looking into it. I fly out of bloom now, but Benton is closer. I fly by myself 90% of the time anyway. I'd be ok with flying out of Benton with one and going to bloom when I'm carrying 2. Seems like I should be ok out of Benton with 2, just not in the summer...

It only says hangar collapse on deregisteration

Good to know Thx

Will definately have the log books and 337 looked at and the plane annualed before buy. Just getting a feel of if it's worth it to pay for that stuff and get some ideas of what could have happened before I start spending some money

Good thought, maybe 337 isnt needed, but I am assuming it would be for a totalled plane. I do have a great a&p ia

I haven't ask the broker that, because if I do, I'm affraid he might look into it more and realize that it's just another plane with some damage history (which is what I'm trying to figure out and hoping it is) The 337 was another member not the broker

Benton, pa40 2200 x 150, 35 ft. trees, 26 ft. from runway

Haha, yes quite vag. My guess is that the 337 was done and didn't make it into the log book that's how they received a new registration. The broker is unknowingly helping the buyer out by telling the owner that it needs an faa inspection efectivily reducing the price. But they are all guesses

It was mentioned by another member when buying a plane to get an annual not prebuy and a 337s.

Not sure that's why I'm asking you guys, I'm a lowly 120hr pilot

From first post "1974 Cessna150 with 800 hrs, nice paint, nice interior, and stol kit" I should have added about avionics, which are standard except Garmin 296

It's not in the log book which is why I'm guessing the broker said to disclaim the damage and sell as is. I'm guessing the faa would need a 337 before they reregister the plane?

They didn't say anything about the 337. It was mentioned that I should get that if I was going to buy. Would that need to have been done to get the new registration?

Thanks all for the replys! To sum up the above replys: With the plane having a current registration, the deregistration is a non issue. Make annual condition of sale (annual ran out last month) I am assuming the plane was repaired correctly since it's been flying since 89 and even did some...

Hi all, I've been looking for a reliable time builder/traveller for me (180lbs) and my wife (150lbs) and i came across a 1974 Cessna150 with 800 hrs, nice paint, nice interior, and stol kit. Most of the 150s in this condition I've seen list for around 25 to 30k. It was looking good then seen...

Good point dan, wonder why it is such a common practice in certain areas, like Alaska?

Sounds like a good cheap way to increase the odds of not having a prop strike on a hard landing.

Thx Stewart, That was going to be the next question, how big of a piece. I like the idea of removing the tire instead of sitting it and using hose clamps

Thx Stickman, Couple more questions if you don't mind. Do u measure the diameter of the strut and match that with the inter diameter of the hose or do u want some extra room? Hose clamps on top and bottom? How tall is the hose? Do you take the wheel off to install it or cut a slice in it...

I've read about some people putting a radiator hose on the front struts of there Cherokee if they fly grass strips to stop the strut from fully collapsing. Anyone have a pic or can explain this further? Thx Aaron
