Given that I only put 35 hours on my 150 this year and a very extensive
annual last year and the year prior. My Cessna 150 had only the usual
things
that needed to be done, complied with recurring AD's Replaced a few cowl
fastener receptacles & general maintenance like airfilter etc.
Compressions
are all in the mid seventies...... Only complaint is I need to fly this
bird
more!


Whenever we have a good year for annual we do something extra. Last
year we overhauled the fuel selector. It was working fine but there was
a lot of list discussion of older selectors sticking in flight. It
would be unfun for me to be 1/2 way down Baja Mexico and not be able to
get to another 4 hours of fuel.


Yes, we have replaced every O-Ring and every bit of packing in this bird on
the last 2 annuals. Last year we did a bunch of extra stuff that was not
need due to airworthyness. I plan on putting 300 hours this year on the bird
then will probably think about trading up.
