Aircraft Details
Seller reportedDescription
I have made many updates and upgrades, listed below. I fly her regularly at KLUK. Follow on Fr24.com to track. She has been a good airplane for this airline pilot. Flies straight in trim. GREAT trainer, time builder and/or just a fun airplane to fly. 4.9 gal/hr @ 65% power and 85 mph. Love the fuel flow instrument. Usually within 0.1 gal after 30 gal of burn. Great for cross-country planning and enroute. The AV30C operates the ADS-B TailbeaconX transponder which provides GPS track on the AV30C. The Davtron OAT probe allows the AV30C to calculate TAS. The GTR225 Com has a built-in intercom system for two. FAA CD with all Registrations, 8130's and 337's records. Maintained by Select Aircraft on Clermont County (Sporty's) airport (I69). Complete Logs and digitally scanned. Last Annual September 2025 1971 C150L was the first year for tubular main landing gear which increased the gear track for more stable landings. It has the step-up points for the fuel tanks. It has the wider cabin than earlier models.
