Hello,
I'm a new kid on the block and my wife and I are considering buying a
C150/2. We would use the plane to go out on the weekend and do the $100
Hamburger thing plus would love to do some air-camping on some of the strips
in Oregon and Idaho. Maybe even take a month and travel around the USA.I
would love any advice on where to find one, what to look for, what to stay
away from, etc. Any help would be helpful. Also if you live near Troutdale (
Portland) Oregon I would love to hear from you.
Thank you,
Darrell Haas

Welcome Darryl,
The 150 is a fun plane but you will need to consider it's gross weight limit and
CG, depending on how much camping gear you plan to haul for the air-camping
trips. They are not a very good performing mountain plane.... climb rate is very
low when loaded (at high density alt). If you and your wife are on the small
side, you might be able to get away with it.
Other than that the 150 is a great plane and is very economical as planes go.
Good luck!

IMHO,
I would go with a 172. The advantages are: 1. More Horsepower. That equals better
climb rate (an asset in the mountains)and a few more knots. 2. More load
capacity. With you and your wife, you should be able to load the back seat
with camping gear or take the back seat out for a large cargo area. Either will
give you enough room for a weekend getaway. 3. Comfort. Two adults in a
152 no matter what size, will be cramped.
The 152 is a great training airplane but I personally would not have one for cross
country flying. I have a friend that owns a 152 and have flown a short cross
country with him. It was not the best but it did get the job done. I rode
with my arm on the back of his seat as we could not go shoulder to shoulder.
He flies cross country in the plane as a solo passenger. The right seat comes
out and he loads his camping gear and a bicycle on board.

Go with a C-182 and I would say a 1959 C 182B. That is the best of the
182's for what you are looking for. great back country A/C. The Cessna
180/185 would be better, but much more money. I have owned 150/172/18
2 and others. Just go with the 182!!!!!!

Sounds great but I'm sure that's probably way more than I can afford. Thank
