I have had our 150/150 for many years. It is a solid honest airplane and I
used it for 8.5 years to commute, about once/twice a month, from the L.A.
area to the Eureka area. With the tip tanks this was a non stop flight
with
enough reserve for another hour. With the prop pitched for cruise, I was
able to throttle back to 2100 RPM and cruised at 110 mph. At this setting
I
burned 6.5 Gals/hour



I have a C-85 with 0-200 insides in my Luscombe 8E. I cruise at 110 mph and
climb about 1000 fpm. I have a standard prop (1A90 at 7151). I burn 5.5 gph
consistently. I carry 27.5 gallons of fuel so my range is longer than I can
endure without a stop.

I can carry 75 lb baggage, but it's hard getting 75 lbs back there! I do use
my airplane to camp regularly.
