Congrats on your acquisition, TopG! Nice looking 150; its shape doesn't look very different from a 152 that I am taking lesson with, but its instrumental panel is quite different! Where is AI, trim tab, electrical flaps? How can you fly it??

Well, another 20 yr and people will be scared to fly without GPS... So, it was a headache to import your 150? We are planning to buy a used 172 and we also considering buying it in the US...
Same basic airframe as the 152...later aircraft added the rear windows, swept back tail and yes...a modern instrument panel.
The AI is the 3rd instrument from the left...it doesn't have the colour indicating the ground and sky. Tthe trim wheel is on the floor...same wheel as your 152 on the panel...and the manual flaps are in-betwen the seats, actuated like a parking brake lever (apparently a better system than the electric flaps as there is no electric motors that can fail).
Yes, it was a head-ache to import it...there were issues with the title that everyone wanted to solve...except for the morons at the FAA.
I'm in Oakville...so I don"t mind hooking up with you and taking you through my learnings...taking you through the resources...and lining you up with the mechanic I had that did a great job with it.
