    Cessna 150 Main Gear Strut bent inward?

    Well to my surprise it looks like the wheel is crooked The back is 76" the front is 75" ( these were at low points at the ground id imagine it to be worse if i had someone holding the other side midway up the wheel) How do i see the wedges? Do i need to take anything off?

    Cessna 150 Main Gear Strut bent inward?

    as a follow up I taxied around in a straight line for a good distance and it was still bent inward. I feel like it does cause issues on landings it seems to move the plane very slightly to the other side (There is no damage to anything relating to the gears It is just the weird angle it...

    Cessna 150 Main Gear Strut bent inward?

    Cfi pay/liveable wages?

    This probably varies flightschool to flightschool. But for the most part if you are a cfi can you live on that alone? (A place to live the bills etc..) how many hours do you work on average a week? What is an average hourly pay rate? Do any flight schools offer salary instead of hourly pay if...

    Fuel leaking ALOT out of overflow

    I have a 152 and the overflow under the wing is gushing out fuel when I have it topped off or am taxing with a high % of fuel. Is there a problem I am not seeing?
