Actually, I'm starting to look for a 150 to play around with and for the
kids to learn in next spring. They fly about as well as most
airplanes, with a really good useful load for that size. The 150 does a
lot of things reasonably well and are becoming dirt cheap as the big
flight schools unload them. Where else can you get a 600 lb useful
load, electrics, really powerful fowler flaps, etc all for 20k.
Everybody else hates them, but I like the '64/65 straight tails. If
you block out the front half of the airplane in a picture, it looks like
an A-26.
Apparently aileron gap seals make the ailerons much lighter and
snappier, probably the biggest complaint in handling.

Here is one you can play around with a lot.

Would all this work qualify as a homebuilt?
