I'm looking for a 3 view for an early model Cessna 150. I'm not sure of the model number but it has a straight fin and rudder vs the swept back fin of later models. I can't believe I can't find a 3 view for something as common and boring as a 150
Thanks

Lake Flyer,

I have what you are looking for.

I am not at home right now so would not be able to send you anything untill Thursday or Friday.

I am at Sun-N-Fun in Florida! It's been a great week, in the 80's all week. I hear Southern Ontario is under yet another winter storm warning.

Boy I can't wait to get back....... NOT!

That would be great Jim.I want to convert the Hostetler plan to a straight tail, tail dragger conversion, that I saw last year. Hope your having a great time at sun-n-fun. I still have to get over to my buddies to look up a couple more 3 views for you, will try to get to it this weekend.

Jim!

Did you buy that plane yet?

If you did maybe we can get a bunch of guys together from RCC and throw it together in a couple weekends!

No didn't buy a plane but finally decided on which one.... RV-7!

Bought the preview plans though. It's the complete set of builders plans but reduced to 11 x 17 and put in a binder along with the builder's manual. Now all I have to do is come up with US$ 1500 for the epenage kit. Oh and another CDN$ 1000 for tools.

Oh and CDN$ 2000 in jewlery to bribe my wife.

Going for the 7 or the 7A?

160 180 or 200 Hp?

When do we start building?

Going with the 7, depending on insurance costs!

I like my ass dragin on the ground. I got a flight in a RV-6 at Sun-N-Fun. WOW what a difference over a Super Spam Can (Cessna 172). The load on the stick was non existant. All you had to do was think about dialling in some bank and wow you were past 30 degrees. Really really light on the stick.

She was a bute to fly. The twenty minutes went by too fast. After the demo pilot took back control he showed me just how manouverable this puppy was. He went from 90 deg. bank right to 90 deg. left in a blink. Next were some lazy eights and a chandelle, dutch rolls but no full rolls . Not allowed to do them during demo flights.

I like the looks of the 7 better then the 7A... looks sexier on the ground.

Probably will go with the 180 HP. Both Van's RV-7A and RV-8A have the 200HP and they say it's just too heavy for the extra HP it packs. With the IO-360 1A1, 180 HP fuel injected model top speed is about 209, 186 @ 75% and 172 @ 55% those are still pretty good numbers.

Gota find the money for the jewlery first before I start

Sounds Good!

Here aree three - 3 Views for three different models of the Cessna's venurable trainer.

The "C" & "D" models both have the straight fin. The vanilla C-150 and Aerobat have the swept fin.

Unfortunately the drawings are not as clean as I like. They started out as only about 3" x 5" but I blew them up to around 7" x 9".

Hope these help.

Thought I would post them here so everyone might have access to them.

Happy building!

Thanks Jim, I didn't know the 150 came in so many flavors. The 150D is the one I'am looking for.
