I am now based at Lake Elmo-21D, but when I used to fly out of STP, I picked up flight following from ground control about 99% of the time. They would take care of the squawk code and coordinate with approach, which I miss, but isn't a big ordeal to request when airborne.

Looks like he’s on the ground in Pecos, TX. Topping off and back into the sky? Or is he in for the night? Only Peter knows.

I have TailBeacon on my C150, and I fly inside the MSP veil. I am usually picked up after takeoff (that is, my wife gets an alert on her phone from FlightAware that the a/c is "enroute" and available for tracking). However, when flying about 30 nm out of the veil, I haven't been picked up until...

Hi, everyone. I am located in MN where we've got quite a bit of snow piling up. At my rented T-hangar, the airport authority will plow to within a few feet of the hangar door, but not up to it. This is my first winter in this hangar and it's a heavy mix of ice and snow against the sliding door...

Thanks guys. Not as bad as I had imagined, for a first annual.

Any thoughts on the below is appreciated... It's a 68 C150H. 1. ELT ground switch not working (can just the switch be replaced? ELT is/was good through 2026) 2. Main tire rotations (is it as simple as the car?) 3. Nose strut seal leak 4. R side fuel tank leak previously mentioned as likely a...

Hi guys. My 150 has the stock ram's horn yokes, and the metal is getting pretty worn and scratchy. The wife needs some Christmas ideas, so I suggested the SX-100 Gregoire covers. Except now, they've vanished from every corner of the internet. It's strange. The model was the SX-100, and came with...

Hi, all. I am wondering if anyone has had luck tracking aircraft with UAT ADS-B out on FlightRadar24. I recently installed TailBeacon and can see my aircraft on FlightAware (when 'show position only flights' is checked) but not on FR24. I read somewhere that FR24 may only support 1090 MHz but I...

Installed and working after 1.5 hours in the shop, slightly longer than the zero install advertised - PAPR flight to follow this weekend.

Hi, everyone. I know many on this forum are waiting for any sign of life from UAvionix. After a good wait, my TailBeacon (factory dated 10/9/2019) arrived today. It is beautiful and heads to my A&P tomorrow after a failed attempt at SkyBeacon on my C150 with original wing tips. Will have more...

Hi, everyone. My C150 has a Westach Carb Temp gauge (yellow "danger" zone indicated as -10c to +10c). Today while flying here in MN (temp 8c dewpoint 2c), the gauge indicated between 2-5c for majority of the flight, into the "danger" zone. Various 'ice probability charts' showed significant...

Hi, all. I am considering adding a GoPro to my C150 to get a look at the fall colors here in MN, and for some overall flying fun. I have seen them on the wing strut, tail tie down, etc. Looking for advice on what equipment or set up you have and what has/hasn't worked for securing it. Any and...

Hi, all. Second post for this new owner. I appreciate all of your thoughts and suggestions so far. According to the logs, my 150H hasn't had new pads/brake service in almost 200 hours, except for inspection during annual. Turning left off the runway today, it required pedal to the floor and...

Friends, Thank you for all of the tips and advice, and most of all, the welcome. Owning an airplane like the C150 has been a goal for quite some time, but now it is a reality. The oil drips seem to only be after shut down, but they last for a day or two, slowly. Nothing after. Drips appear to...

First post, here goes: I am the proud new owner of a '68 C150. Mid-time engine, great compressions, and flies like a dream, though I do have a couple questions, as someone who has most of his time in a 172. 1. Oil drips. I have read the O-200 is notorious for them. It drips after shutdown, and...
