I'm a huge fan of the C150, they are almost idiot proof,this can be verified by the fact I'm still around. I converted mine to a taildragger ,(dont know that I would bother doing that again) but only after that was a crosswind of serious consideration. Prior to the conversions crosswinds were a mild inconvenience certainly nothing to be concerned about. They are dirt cheap to run and, agreed, they havent been built for many years but there is still plenty of parts around. Much better view from a high wing and you are always parked in the shade. (unless its an Aerobat)
