CESSNA 150 PROJECT EPISODE 3 : PAINT STRIPPING AND PRIMING
Переглядів 25 тис.4 роки тому
In this episode we finish patterning the boot cowl for the left side, patch a big hole and a previous poor repair job on the fuselage, paint strip the fuselage and wings and begin priming the inside of the fuselage. Apologies for the long gaps between episodes, we wish we could get them out quicker. Being first responders the pandemic didn’t give us any extra time to work on the plane. She was ...
CESSNA 150 PROJECT EPISODE 2 : CABLES, PULLEYS AND BOOT COWL
Переглядів 31 тис.5 років тому
Finally got around to making Episode 2. Work on this old Cessna 150 is coming along nicely although a little slow with all the other demands of life. But we are continuing to move forward. We replaced all the control cables, removed the instrument panel, removed the engine and started to pattern new boot cowls. Thanks for watching!

    Something you might give a lot of thought to. Years ago I converted a C-150 to a tail dragger to experimental for research and development. I did my homework for the main landing gear and I was able to acquire the gear legs from a C-140. They give the 150 a much better stance and most importantly MORE propeller clearance when taking off and landing, this saves propellers and engines. The 140 gear legs bolt right into the same gear blocks as the 150 gear legs and the blocks will bolt in the same location as it is on the 140. The bulkheads are already prepunched for the blocks in the 150. Also the tail wheel assembly came from a 140 also. makes it easier to attach the tail wheel.This was done in the middle 1980's while I was working on airplanes and also teaching people to fly I have my Airline Transport Pilot Licenses, Certified flight instructor Rating airplanes instrument and multi engine instructor, Airframe and Power Plant Mechanic Licenses. Would like to hear your thoughts

    Great video. Were you allowed to fabricate the leading edge and front ribs and sign them off on your own, or did you have to have an IA sign them off. I was under the understanding that you had to buy them if they were available and I guess I was wrong. I hear they allow people in Alaska to do more on their aircraft as a&p's then in the other states due to the lack of IA's. Is that correct? Thanks again for the video.

    I was glad to see you using the Hobby Air mask and the HVLP system. I've built 20 experimental's and rebuilt many factory birds and can tell you that the Hobby Air full mask and the HVLP were indispensable in every project. Most of my work was with PolyFiber, some Stewart system too and a few full metals birds as well. The C150 you are restoring looks great ... are you planning to overhaul the engine or just fly it up as is? Looking forward to the next video ...
