C150

I fly C150/C152 but mainly the latter.

Landing C150 on base carb heat,back to 1700rpm,into white arc,20 deg flap,trim for 65kts. On final 30 deg flap (stay with 20 deg/65kts for significant xwind,)60-65kts,over threshold,ease back to idle (not slam shut),flare as usual,hopefully with a slight sqeak of stall warner.
Use the indicator in the 'A' pillar for flap position.tried the counting method but not 150 flaps move a the same rate.

Only have ever used 40 deg on PFL's.

Go around,full throttle, (not slammed),carb cold,quickly back to 20 deg,lock my arm to resist the pitch up.When accelerating/climbing,flaps away at 10 deg steps.

Flap actuator switch to the side of mixture,prefer it to the 'gate' type of 152.

Hope this helps
MM
