I found a plane MORE affordable than my Cessna 150 

Whoever was smashing that burger should be banned from grill. STOP IT! The plane was pretty cool.

The title implies an aircraft similar or in the same class as your Cessna 150 but the barebones ultralight is not the same thing. Your plane has a certified Continental 0-200 in it. This, as you admit has a lawn-mower engine (at 38hp even more anemic than most powered kites that have a Rotax UL 80hp engine). Looks like a fun 'toy' designed to fly in the back country, but since its so underpowered, you may get stuck out there. For price compares, the Rotax powered-kites can be had from between $30k and $50k dependent on avionics and has two seats. This one starts at $40k which is around the price of a used Cessna and only has one seat.

Where is the rest of the plane?

I fly out of PDK and have never seen that contraption out flying. That hanger costs more than the plane.

You have a beautiful 150. You never forget your first and I have fond memories of the '67 150 that I learned to fly back in 1972.

10:07 N5204U. That's the plane I did the bulk of my training as a student PPL. I also did my first solo with it.

Following you on your flight ( to PDK ) was great ...it felt like being there with you ...very enjoyable...great footage, great views very immersive.....the Ruckus occupies only a small portion of your clip at the end....and that's great, 'cause as soon as I saw it, I was ready to hop back in your beautiful 150 for the flight back to LZU......😊

$40k for barely better than an ultralight? My C150 cost $18k. And I built a brand new Sonex for $32k, including brand new engine.

Fun video... and the 1976 150 that I owned 1/4 of brought me a lot of joy as I trained for my Private License in 1983. Keep in mind that "PDK" is for "Peachtree-DeKalb" Airport rather than "DeKalb-Peachtree" Airport... or it would be "DKP". Keep smilin'.

I LOVED seeing your 150 at EAA, you're living the dream man!

Damn, you have power flaps? When I was in Flight School I had to pull the E Brake looking stick to get flaps.😂😂😂

I love the 150. I had a '63 straight tail that just loved to fly and I miss her dearly. Yours is really nice! I like the unpainted wings! (nice job, by the way)

That’s a pretty pristine 152!

I cannot believe the cessna shown in this video is affordable. Very nice. Thanks for the video.

First of all, that is a beautiful Cessna 150. My father would have loved it. His was your typical Red & White but he always loved Stainless, especially with the Mustang. The experimental aircraft might as well be a Flying Wing. No shortage of Lift with that plane.

I already have too much fun landing a Cessna 150f I fly for time building can’t imagine trying to land that pup

Great video, as always. Thank you.

Personally, Your 150 is the epitome of affordability. and style. Probably the best 150 I've seen. You make me want to go fly..

Thats one very pretty C150. Great video thankyou

9:48 Brooo the look on his face got me laughing and balling my eyes out!

So… good on you for getting tailwheel brotha! Going for mine too! So what id like to point out is this: the entire Minimax sand fisher flying products line up, the wittman tailwind, the thorp T18, the bushby/mustang aeronautics line up, most of the sonex line up and a few others are all more affordable than the 150. Plus, they’re experimental, so they still cost you less.

Hey. Just discovered you. One. Fun editing! Two. You AUDIO is so much more clear than other flying videos! How. Do. You. Do. It?

No thanks, rather buy a C-150 which has some utility for the same price.

Dude this LZU airport is 5 mins from my house...Nice to see a fellow enthusiast on here close by

Sweet little bird! But you can find a number of experimentals which cost less to own & operate particularly if they have alternative engines. Most of those which I personally wouldn't care to fly, but there are a couple which are both inexpensive and very reliable if built properly. Not everyone's cup of tea though.

1st time watching your channel. If you want a Tail Dragger, use the Tail Wheel STC and convert your C-150 to a Tail Dragger. That would cost much less than the $40K for that Ultra-light/LSA. Granted, I had more fun in the 7AC Champ but a C-150TD will give you MORE fun 🙂

I sure miss the 150 I had back in the 80's. Great video!!

Cool concept but for the money you can't beat the cruise performance of a canard #longez #varieze

That's GOT to be one of the prettiest 150s around!

Landing was smooth as glass!👍😁

2 uploads in one month!!! we've been blessed!!!!!

So this was video of a plane that isn’t in production, that really hasn’t changed much since its years ago debut using mostly canned old marketing content. Riveting.

That looks like an ultralight; not an airplane.

10:51 was a pretty good butter honestly :)

How is any Cessna affordable? They are an over pushed, under performing aircraft is always way too expensive. You can step up to a 4 seat Stinson 108 for less than a C150/152. And the Stinson performs so much better.

Just started watching 20 mins ago, love the content. Subscribed.

Awesome video brother! Beautiful 150! Such a fun airplane to fly! Love the island hopping videos you felt like you had us there with you! Keep them videos coming!!

Tailwheel is fun, it can get away from you fast so you learn to be super fast on the pedals, never slow! They call it Tap dancing on the rudders.

Beautiful 150! But all I can think about is that right wing gas cap going on wrong. Or maybe you’re doing it intentionally to use less right rudder lol.

One thing i know about PDK is a lot of PC 12s fly out of there and head head to KSSI a lot. It’s blue and white.

What about homebuilts like the Long EZ?

What a beautiful 150!

How did you mount your ram mount on the co-pilots side? Great idea!

That thing looks like so much fun. ❤

What mount do you use for your insta 360 and how the heck do you keep it from overheating 😅?

man i wish i could buy this plane. love seeing this cessna fly

Looks like a fun summer toy.

If you ever get chance,give us your opinion on the Archon F1.Love that 150 though.

Amazing - your hanger is so clean and so empty. Where are the chairs and desk for flight planning, refrigerator for cold water, case of oil, cleaning supplies, drain pan for oil, 5 gallon bucket, to hold used oil, light stands since the hangers never have very good lighting… The bicycle get to the restroom or your friends Hangar, the Motorcycle the battery tender the extension cords, and a box of your favorite cigars.

Great flight smooth landing and great camera shots

feel like 40k is too much, at that point buy a j3 cub or aeronca champ

The Vernor Three cyl radial would be awesome on that.

Ultralight looks like an air bike. I’d fly it.

Guess all us pilots have to own a black model Y

hi :) love your vids

What state/country u in?

Hey at 8:31 I heard 703CA. I fly that plane sometimes :)

Me finding a 79,000 turbine military jet💀

You could teplace your oil drip pan with an air-oil seperator.

Other than flying a DC 10 traffic pattern and slowing down to 75 on base leg, remember, other people are waiting to use the airport also, yet, there they are, waiting on you.

You really need to get out more if you seriously think the rukus is the only thing more economical to own then your pretty little alcladless Wichita spam can.... in fact you can make a video series about it. By far the best bang for buck aircraft available for the price of your bird it the -22/ 150hp tripacer... faster, and hauls more, and is way more responsive and fun to fly! Other good options..... taylorcraft, ercoup, j3, champ, chief, pa 11, colt, even the 140, and the list seriously keeps going.... get some special ed little brother, friends dont let friends play with ultralights.... scooters and chubby chicks, don't go there 😊

Surely you meant $4,000 🥲

Bro a butter landing Wow😮

Great video mate and an excellent excuse to finish that tailwheel endorsement. Looking forward to the next videos. Cheers 🍻

Dip sticks are fine but make sure you check your fuel level with your eye sight. Actually look inside your tank before each flight.

18 miles?? Why didn't you just take the bus? 😅😆😂

I used to have a TEAM Airbike, looks a bit like that.

Cessnas are the only planes i know that the flaps are always lowered for preflight

Hey your not to far from me! Also beautiful 150

Hey does anyone know what circle knob is in the front left upper windshield?

Hey! Quick question, is it easier to push into the hanger or pull it out?

I was so excited to hear that the rukus had been resurrected. Then they announced the price. Total letdown. Really was hoping for an affordable backyard stol machine but not the case. Heck im only gonna have about 50 grand in my 701 and a least its capable of cross country if i want to. No reason they cant cut the price in half. They could sell thousands of them and make more in the long run. But its obvious they have no operating capital. Wish them well but this is a rich mans ultralight .

How much?

I've skirted major cases of frostbite enough in my life.

KEEP THE 150!😅😊😮

Looks like an AirBike.

Looks like an “Air Bike”

Looks like a nice airplane for someone transitioning from the Paramotor world to a 3 axis ultralight. Fair weather flying with low crosswinds though. Up here in the Great White North 🇨🇦 we can go up to 1232lbs Gross Weight in an Ultralight although there’s lots of restrictions on mods you can do to the airplane. Better to get into Amateur Built (what you Americans call “Experimental”) and Owner Maintained. A nice clean used RANS S6S Coyote II will run you $35 - $40K USD up here and will give you great off-airport capability with either the 100hp Rotax 912 or 120hp Jabiru 3300 Engines. Nice flight envelope of 35mph stall to 100mph cruise. Also, unlike the Cessna 150, you likely won’t get a very nasty $$ surprise come Annual time 😳 There’s a guy in our Flying Club who thought he got a nice clean C150L until he got a $15K CDN bill on his First Annual ! Otherwise, nice Channel here - thanks 👍

Good video. Demerit for the Tesla though.

40k is insane for that.

What about flights school?

18 miles?? Why didn't you just drive? 😅😆😂

lol I bet my Glasair 1RG is cheaper to maintain than a certified 150

Let me save you the drudgery the airplane is a single seat Ruckus with a crappy 2 stroke engine on it.

hey i think i saw you i live in cumming ga

Nickname that thing The Paper Clip 😅

I BEG YOUR PARDON- $40,000 FOR THAT!?!?!?!?!?

$40K??! 😂😂😂

😢. Fine if you never want to fly in a crosswind.

Airbike a380

Scetchy

apples and oranges

Wow no way I’m first! I love your videos they are truly amazing and inspiring. Can I maybe have a pin plz?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

im second, i love your videos

Why do you talk so fast in the US..?. It’s no wonder some pilots ask for the tower to repeat. None US pilots all say the same thing.

It’s an expensive piece of junk! The function & utility of this craft is virtually ZERO! Two runs around the patch much less flying a mere 25 miles anywhere freezing to death in that thing will bring the unfortunate buyer to the realization they horrific mistake!

Looks like a glorified air bike. $40 grand? Better off to buy a nice 150.

You drive a Tesla. Used to enjoy your video's , didn't even watch the current video to completion. Unsubbed.

No thanks….still too expensive…..for $40K I think I would go for the Aerolite 103 fully loaded including a ballistic parachute for that same money…..
