i did buy a cessna 150 aerobat ,because i could not afford a europa ,the first
annual ,they told me the wings had a couple of patches put on so the wings will
need recovering ,also the seat belts wer ten years old and need replacing 3k
yes thats right for a seat belt ,they also said the engine had filings so thats
another 20k oh and repaint ,,,,so i saved and saved got to 30k and they said
they were to busy to do the work ,,so i bought a europa and sold the cessna
for spares "still wish you had bought a cessna "?
