Cessna Reims F-150 Publications

[phgeorg]

Hi all.

We recently purchased a Cessna Reims F-150L and I need to replace some of the interior trim panels.

Is there available any parts catalog for French made Cessnas?
I asked from various provider and they replied that panels made for Cessnas may not fit on Reims airplanes.
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.

Cessna took back the certification and support requirements from Reims so their part manuals will show parts for the F150 series. Just be sure to mind the aircraft serial number when figuring out the part numbers.
Here's one online part manual:

You can buy pattern parts that may require trimming, they will be cheaper and some Cessna parts may no longer be available. Links below

The above sells

https://texasaeroplastics.com/collec...cessna-150-152

i have used parts from all of these before and bar a little time and effort to trim then and put holes in them for the screws, they turn out well.

What nutloose says is the way to go. We have had no problem. The only issue I have is that I can't find a centre cosole panel that has the cutout for the trim wheel. They used to be made.
I would have prefered one that had the hole built in rather than having to cut.
The other thing we did was to paint the inside of the doors and save the weight of the trim panels(and cost).
The 150 needs all the help it can get as the flight manual climb figures are largely a work of fiction hence the CAA right down..
