You could mush her in at under 50 mph if needed. An old timer told me “you’ll mop up less bloody foreheads landing in the trees at 45 vrs 65 mph”. She wasn’t a long distance flyer, but I loved her none the less. Was not an Aerobat. Had an aftermarket starter with special gear scags that never failed. Steps for checking fuel.

[@eriksteel6433]

How to tell if someone learned in 150, they always come in high on their approach.

[@Bartonovich52]

But it’s not, really. 40 flaps teaches you more about power and configuration management. Hey.. if it’s gusting 30 knots.. maybe I shouldn’t use full flap. Very few pilots are flying slow enough to take the full advantage of 40 degrees of flap.. and most light aircraft land in half the distance they need for a takeoff anyways so runway length and stopping distance is never an issue.. just to impress your friends or reduce your backtrack time.

I remember going up in the air in one of these (four seater version), my best friend was getting flying lessons at the age of nine years old. I was ten. I remember the flight instructor asking if I wanted to fly the plane for a little bit while we were up in the air... I said no. I still regret saying no, the one freaking time I could have flown a plane and I said no! Although, I must say riding in that tiny plane gave me the worst case of motion sickness I have ever felt in my entire life. I’ll never forget that as well, I got sick and vomited in a bag while up in the air at 3000 feet and didn’t take off my headset, so pretty sure they heard me puking 🤮😆 good times with my best friend I’ve known for over thirty years now. Merry Christmas everyone!

[@wristofkings]

If it was a four seater you probably went up in a 172 or 180/182. Another very common Cessna craft. If the 150 is a Cavalier, the 172 and 180/182 are the 90s Malibu and Lumina respectively.

[@TheRealCFF]

@0:30 It’s also affordable. It’s a good no nonsense aircraft for a pilot to log hours in or practice ‘gentleman’s’ ie positive G aerobatics in. The insurance is going to be higher than it would be for a standard Cessna 150 due to its aerobatic category type certificate. Either a C150/152 Aerobat or a American Champion Citabria would be excellent choices but the Citabria will require more skill in the pattern as it’s a tailwheel airplane.

[@mixiekins]

@@quillmaurer6563 I wonder if he'll do one of those super generic divvy electric bikes or something a bit more jazzy. I'd gladly volunteer my Electra Delivery 3i for the latter. Electra is an offshoot of Trek as a holdover from that brief period around '08 when fat whitewall beach cruisers were a fad before the market crash kinda killed it. They did some cushy riding models with modern gears so they could compete with the fixed gear commuters that would have otherwise blown away the tank-like Calypso I had. It was for commuting on Chicago's Lakeshore Drive and city streets, and despite the weight, it did really well. It took a good few crashes without a dent and hauled cargo like a champ with an aftermarket rack and basket. Was my daily until a few years ago when it was stolen along with my 91 Civic Wagon since it was in the trunk from being picked up during a torrential downpour. I came out the following morning and the whole car was gone, bike and all. Ended up getting the aforementioned Delivery bike as a replacement to haul groceries and cargo and have been happy with it.

[@quillmaurer6563]

@@mixiekins Sounds like a sweet setup, but I was thinking he should do a high-end all-carbon oh-so-fanseh road bike. Half the video would be complaining about the underperforming "engine" (himself, being out of shape - pretend he's out of shape even if he actually is very fit) and the other half ranting about the Spandex-wearing road-hogging "cyclists" who ride them - hopefully apologizing for those who aren't like this, but there are some dicks out there that he surely would have plenty to say about.

@@quillmaurer6563 Maybe so, but he's doing more and more non "regular car" related videos, and they're just not interesting.

[@quillmaurer6563]

@@rareblues78daddy I assume you're thinking of how the cars he's reviewing are getting more and more exotic and unusual? Agreed, they certainly aren't "regular" cars, and most of them I'm not familiar with as someone who isn't knowledgeable about obscure cars. Problem is he's probably running out of "regular" cars to do as he's been doing this for so long. He's probably done every reasonably common model out there, at least that he's been able to find living examples of (he's not done a Chevy Vega, that seems like the sort of turd he'd love, but I've never seen one, I think they all died). In a way that's why I think it might be better if he broadened out into non-car things a little bit. Most of us would probably be more familiar with a bicycle (even if not the specific model) than that obscure JDM Corolla variant he did recently. Much of that video was about how to most people that car is just a plain old Corolla, which it is to most of us watching as well. And like Top Gear/Grand Tour, it's not really for the cars we enjoy this so much as the personality. Case in point, the horse review (I believe last year's Christmas special) was in my opinion the most quintessential RCR video of all, delving into history, what the "vehicle" was originally used for, stereotypes of the people who have them now, deeply philosophical about what it had meant in it's time and how it's replacement by motor vehicle has changed society, and finishing off with a point-blank fart.

They are extremely loose at start up and then “tighten up” as the engine comes up to temperature.. typically corresponding with about 200F on the cylinder heat temperature gauge (if installed) or two minutes of idling.... ....and maxing out at about 450F with the optimal operating temperature being less than 400F. Because the clearances are so high to start, it’s perfectly acceptable to run straight grade oils. It’s a lot cheaper, too. Most aircraft oil is 50 weight, with 40 weight for cooler temperatures and 60 weight for really loose engines (typically large radials). However, the oil is really thick when cold and unless you have a pan heater or engine tent or heated hangar, it’s too thick to use in the winter. So we use multi grade oil. Typically 15W50 or 20W50. Now.. the important thing about any multigrade oil is that the oil is actually the lower number. 15... 20... or 10, 5, or 0 in cars. That’s what it actually is. What makes them thicken up at operating temperatures are these things called viscosity improvers. Now, in my and lots of other pilots and mechanics experience, using multigrade aircraft oil in extreme heat will result in those viscosity improvers breaking down. The oil reverts back to its natural state.. so instead of 50 weight oil you have effectively 15 or 20 weight oil. You can see this on the engine instruments as the oil pressure plummets and the oil temperature spikes. Often, you are only a needle width from exceeding limits as you try and fly as fast as you can for cooling while still maintaining a climb. This is why most operators run straight grades in the summer. No chance for it to go back to a lower viscosity. I’ve never seen this happen in a car. But mind you, most cars only have idiot lights and less than precise instrumentation which doesn’t include oil temperature. But I can totally see it happening as we have much higher compressions and boosts all in the name of specific power. So Mr Regular wasn’t exactly wrong in his concern about a highly loaded engine and oil with a thin cold viscosity.

That green screen was so convincing Merry Christmas

We knew all along.

I loved flying a 152. Nothing between you and a viral video of your crash but a tiny bit of competence, humility and chance. Oorah

Okay but that toothless sticker. You usually always see the skyhawk logo cessna puts of the vertical stabilizer, but this is a cute touch

[@FrancoCastro]

I believe the cessna 150 is the cheapest airplane you can buy, I don't think even kit planes go as low as 150. A friend got his pilot license, sold his car and bought a 150 with cash to spare to update a few components and still says that it is cheaper to maintain than his old car with sporadic track visits.

Watching this again after 24 hours in my log book. Did my solo at 20 and finished my first X country. Here in south Florida weather is sporadic and we get tossed around all over the place. Really glad I have no issues with nausea because it seems to be pretty common for a lot of people. My instructor has over 1000 hours and apparently he had a real hard time at first with it, which blows my mind. Even 6 months ago he got a ride in an Extra 300 with a stunt pilot and he was yaking all over the place hahaha.

Cessna 150. The aircraft version of "Shit on this every time you see one, and grin like a slow kid at a petting zoo... EVERY time you get in one..."

True... so true. I meh whenever I see a turboprop fly by but totally lose my shit seeing a Boeing 747-8 take off from LAX. That being said, I can’t wait to take my training flight next year!
