C150 Wheel Fairing mounting plates

Hi,

I´m looking for advice on mounting wheel fairings to a 1973 C150.

Is there anything that I have to consider aside from having the right
mounting plates ?


Thanks !

Robert

I have a 1967 'C' model Mooney and am thinking about upgrading. I'll
probably end up with a Mooney 231/252/262, but I'm looking at everything
turbocharged. In poking around Barron's web site I saw the following:
http://www.barronthomas.com/34772.htm

Garmin 430 and Garmin 530. Known ice and factory air conditioning with
reasonable times and a good price. I called and talked with him last
week. He was pleasant enough if not terribly helpful. I made an
appointemnt to see the Seneca today at 1pm. I walked into his office at
exactly 1:00 pm. No Barron. His secretary paged him. No Barron. She
paged him again at 1:15 pm. No Barron. She paged him at 1:30 pm. No
Barron. She paged him at 1:45 pm. No Barron but he called the office and
said he would be there in 15 minutes. At 2:00 pm and no Barron, I left.

I had tied down a fair distance away. Just as I was getting back to the
Mooney, here comes Barron in a bright yellow Hummer. He said we could go
look at the Seneca now if I want. It wasn't even there ! It was at
another airport we would have to fly to. I told him no thanks, I have
other appointments I have to attend.

Barron won't be getting my business with this or any future transaction.
Since I doubt Barron owns the plane outright, he's probably just
brokering it, I wonder if the owner knows how he's screwing potential
buyers ?

As far as mounting goes, the only other thing you have to consider is the W&B.
If you intend to fly the plane without the fairings at times, get W&B sheets for
the plane with and without main gear fairings. The nose wheel fairing is such a
pain to remove that you will probably never take it off if you can help it.

I had fairings on my '69 model. I found it moderately difficult to add air to
the tires with the fairings on (especially the nose wheel). Can't give you much
advice about that except to suggest that you might want fairings with little
doors for that purpose (like the 172 has). Dunno if they make such a thing for
150s. You also might experiment with different types of air nozzles -- I was
using the standard fitting on a 12v pump.

Might be possible. If Thomas put the N-number in his ads. Think maybe that's why
he doesn't do that?

Brokers don't put the N-Number in the ads because they don't want you
to approach the owner directly for the sale.

N# isn't on any of the photos. Convenient, eh ?

Are brokered sales executed like a house with a realtor? (i.e., the seller
pays the broker a percentage at the sale?) Or, what?

Yep. Percentages vary, but are usually around 5%.
