Early Cessna 150 Empty weight / payload

[BEXIL160]

Hi folks,

Been doing a little research into the very early Cessna 150s up to the "E" of 1965.

Most sources mention that the MToW ws initially 1500lbs (later 1600lbs) but no mention of a typical early a/c Empty weight (later ones about 1100lbs)

Any info appreciated

Airframe limitations were also different between the A, B and C models and the D and E variants.

I have a figure of 1045lbs empty weight in a note I have here but it doesn't specify which aircraft it was from..

Found a bit more...
C150 A,B,C variants
Max Speed 157mph
Max Manoeuvring 106mph
AUW 1500lbs


C150 D, E variants
Max Speed 162mph
Max Manoeuvring 109mph
AUW 1600lbs

1045lbs was probably for a D, E or even F variant. I never flew the A, B or C..
