Oh yea the ones at Pearson's climb very well. As for Jeff Paulson i looked
at his fast back 172 he is asking way more than i am willing to pay for its
condition! I found better maintained ones for much less. I feel sorry for
anyone that buys either of his 150's that he has for sale 1 has patches on
the horizantal stab and is past TBO and a stress crack on the cowling. The
other has a big ding on the prop, needs battery and interior is roached 2
diffrent seats, looks like it may need some airframe work soon! and either
leaks a lot of oil for only having 200 hours on recent OH or some one dont
know how to poor oil in it with out spilling and he wants 15k for the over
TBO one 18k for the other says he owes the bank for them but no leins on
record??? No wonder he went out of flight school business.

I have herd that from more than you people telling me to stay away some

say
best plane they ever owned (after vac. converstion) and you will not

regret
buying one getting a lot of mixed opinions on this airplane. i like the
manual flap's no motors or switches to fail and hard top forget to put

them
up like electric.

I Need to know main things to look for on this model like trouble spots

ect.
any one know what it would cost to to a vac. pump conversion.


I think if you had a heart to heart about N7958B, which Jeff Paulson
might have for sale over in the hangar at Evergreen, he'd be able to
tell you what's what on a Fastback 172.

I think the thing even takes mogas.

I liked it, but the ones at Pearson climb oh so much better, with all
those extra horsies!
