I just got the new E-Flite Cessna 150 aerobat. It is a Park 250 size. It is cute and has some great ideas... Cell for size comparison.

Wow! thats great Im thinking about getting one,please keep us posted on your progress.

Any new progress? Maybe some completion pics or a flight report? I have one waiting on me at home still NIB, can't wait to get started.

I have 3 flights on it it fly's great. It needs to be pretty calm. But is a blast to fly. It is well constructed. I didn't have to reinforce any glue joints. The only thing I changed after the first flight was the elevator servo arm, I needed to make I hole longer. I didn't have enough elevator.

If it wasn't electric, I'd own one. I took my full-scale lessons in a 150 Aerobat. Real airplanes make noise and smell like gas.

I have a couple hours in an Aerobat back in 1969, I bought a 1976 Cessna 150 in 1976 and got my private ticket.

I got my ticket in 1993 then transitioned to a 172............had to give up flying though...........the $100 Hamburger was getting too expensive for the budget...........not that RC is any cheaper but I had to make a choice.

That looks very very good.

What's on the inside of the fuselage;

I earned my private ticket last year in a 152. You don't see the 150/152 modeled too often, thats why I jumped on this one. I plan to buy a full scale 150 when I return from Germany, would like to get an aerobat if I can find one.

I used to own a 1969 J-model Cessna 150. Wonderful airplane. Took it to Oshkosh, Grand Canyon, Northern Rockies, etc. It was reliable, cheap, and plenty roomy for one guy plus gear.

The day will come when the little "One-Fifty" will be regarded with the same affectionate esteem as the Piper Cub enjoys today, and the idea of a small two-place airport-hopper made of all sheet metal and rivets will seem as much an anachronism to those in the future as fabric and wood does now.

I may pick up one of these E-flite versions, if I don't build my Guillow's 150 first.

too bad they did not make this in the regular 480 size..[]

Let me see if you can help me converting the eflite Cessna 150 Aerobat to glow power. That's exactly my pre-summer project for this year (I'm in the southern hemisphere). Recently I've converted another eflite ARF, the AT6 Texan, with a .40 4 stroke engine and it turned out really great.
But the Texan I think was an easier kit to convert because of its big round open cowl. So my major concern is the space inside the Cessna cowl - I dont wanna strip nor cut the cowl a lot to fit an engine. I want scale look not something screaming at 25k.

I' ve owned both OS 10LA and the Thunder Tiger GP07, but now I'm concerning the Norvel .06 or.074. The OS is great, but the muffler in way too large for me. Is there a Pitts style muffler for the OS10?

The TT 07 is not powerfull, but it still can pull this bird with no problem, is quiet economic and with a muffler extension it can look good without opening the cowl too much.

The Norvels speak for themselves, but for this particular bird it be may TOO loud as I usually fly in a park behind my neighborhood.

So my question is: which engine will give the plane the most scale look and which dou you think is the best option given that I want scale look for scale aerobatics not astronomical revs???

Really appreciate.</span></font></div> <div class="smallfont" style="font: normal normal normal 11px/normal verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; "></div> </td> </tr> </tbody></table>

Amen to that! Sometimes, I had $200-$300 hambergers! It was fun though...lots and lots of memories of flying all over. Maybe one day, this economy will come back (or go forward?) and we all can enjoy ourselves once again doing the things we love besides work and, well, twidle our thumbs lol.
