Thank you Emma for being the consummate professional ferry pilot and bringing my new-to-me sweetheart home to Arizona! It was a long day….Houston to Austin….Austin to Queen Creek, Az.
My dad is a taildragger man. His first aeroplane though was a C150B, we loved that aeroplane. If it had been a taildragger, I'm guessing he'd have kept it a lot longer. The one in the video is just gorgeous 👍✌️💜😊 You mentioned the 40° flaps of the C150s, theyll pull you up short, and as you hinted at, theyll get you in, but you might not get out again. Even with the tricycle under cart, my dad got very good at short take off and soft field take off techniques, where and when to put in two stages of flap on the roll, getting the nose wheel off, then gently the mains, using ground effect etc., also starting the T/O roll at 90° +/- to the runway etc. That was with small wheels too (C150B). Of course he/we didn't have density altitude issues to contend with in Blighty - hot days could be a challenge though, also one way in, one way out hillside strips, two up as well could be "fun" 😲 Very wise to get a few hours under your belt, Ive seen several who, even with high hours, think theyre a bush/off airport/farm strip pilots and end up in sticky situations, ground looping through crops etc. being the least of em. That STOL kit will help you. With a little experience on FW 3 Axis microlights (LSA), on the EV97 Eurostar (Sportstar) that has 60° of flap, if I recall correctly, put that in and it becomes like a helicopter in forward attitude and slow speed short field landing. Even with only 80 bhp the EV97 and C42 have very short take off rolls and a climb out of 1000 fpm - catches spam can/GA pilots out when doing differences training, Eg. "full throttle, acceleration normal, Ts & Ps good, AS alive.....oh I'm ar 200' now!" 😀😀👍 Horses for courses though. Now if you had 150 bhp under the hood, a STOL kit too, with 40° flaps? Nice, very usable 😀👍😉🤫👍
Hey Emma. I really enjoy your videos. Yours and Michael's conversation piqued my interest when you guys spoke about the boneyard. I used to work there as recently as 2022. I retired from Air Force Civil Service out of there. That was the arguably the best job I had during my 37-year Air Force career. I was on active duty for 21 years and retired and became an Air Force Civil service employee for another 16 years. Thanks for awesome videos.
Nice airplane. I seen many of David Lowe's TD conversions since I live local to him. When I'm out flying around a trip into his airstrip is always one of my stops. David always has something interesting to check out.
I truly enjoyed the ride today...I enjoy watching your shows young lady...Fly em High, Fly em Low....thanks for letting me ride along...I'm in Coolidge AZ...I heard that name in the video...great little town. Until the next time.....
Emma, Wow! Another great video. The tour around San Tan was cool. There is a large number of Powered Paragliders and Parachutes that fly around that area. I am sure all the GA pilots are aware of the activity. Great interview with Michael, and congrats on your new plane. Looking forward to the next one Emma.
Who are the channels that care about aviation? Airplanes. Frankly, I am a big fan of the content, as well as the valuable information and the way the videos are presented. Keep going, captain, you are great and I am eagerly awaiting the upcoming videos. My greetings to you from Saudi Arabia.
I moved to Kingman in 2013 and since then the people moving here from other states it is now overflowing with new housing going up all over. It is a shame this nice little quite town is now almost 24/7 and the noise is way up. The invasion does not seem to be slowing down. Now, where do I go? Like this video, the flying here is great with all the days available.
I started flying around the same time as Michael, in 1985 in my case. I hate to break to us, but that wasn't "almost 30 years ago", it was nearly 40 years ago.
Would you consider an 0-320 conversion in this airplane? Depending on prop you'd get different climb/cruise of course and would need some aft weight balance to compensate (battery?) Using modern port-matched cylinders, multi-angle valve cuts, domed pistons, and a powerflow-type tuned exhaust, you would have a unique light sports aircraft. The early 40 degree manual flap slim light fastback straight tail fuselage is probably the best of the C150/152's from a purist flight performance point of view.
The O-200 and later the Lyco O-235 are probably the ideal Powerplants for these airframes. Excess power can really only be used for climb rate in a 150/152. But most people cruise at or below 8,000 so who needs 2,000fpm?
Is the woman hosting this video the same woman who was doing the videos I while ago? I've skipped a couple of months of episodes and she looks a bit different.
With the hot temps a 125hp sparrow hawk stc would be a good compromise between the 150hp and stock 0200....ive about 50 hrs in a 125 hp aerobat and with a prop upgrade it was a good fit
@@mattf49006 unfortunately the Sparrowhawk STC only applies to later 152’s with the Lycoming engines. The earlier Continental O-200’s are stuck with 100hp 😢

Beautiful aeroplane, you lucky chap, lovely to see it delivered in capable hands too✌️👍💜😊
You are so welcome!
Emma is an awesome host. Great video.
I like how you interacted with Michael. I enjoyed the longer video. Please keep up the good work.
Wow. That is a beautiful 150. Something to be proud of for sure. Enjoy the fun!
Emma you have brought a breath of fresh air back to this channel. Love the longer format as well.

What an interesting Airplane! Thanks for sharing it and telling us about it.

Emma, you have been doing a great job with Flying Doodles! I think it's time for you to replace the dorky guy in the thumbnail with your own image! 😂
Thx Emma...Great ferry flight from Texas...Great 150 conversion.

A week on Maverick will boost the channel.

Nice little plane I want one now .
That is a really cute plain
Plane
@@edmoore3910 I just pressed the button and speak, it decides whether we have wings or no flavor
Nice looking 150 wish I could afford Pegasus airpark.
The plane is the cheapest thing about that place!
Great flying adventure fo sure!!
Nice plane. Quit bringing my RV-8 down for the winter because of the increase traffic over the years between TUS and PHX.
I almost bought that plane but it just didnt work out. Im glad it went to a good home.
WOW!!!...How many hours?
5hrs x-country in my 172 felt like a butt-whipping! I can't imagine doing that in a 150/152.
I started flying around the same time as Michael, in 1985 in my case. I hate to break to us, but that wasn't "almost 30 years ago", it was nearly 40 years ago.

1986 to 2024 is 38 years so, yeah I guess that’s just over 30 years.
Emma have you ever talked to Bobby about getting on the new boat and go sailing with him and Amanda?
On your first stop, Was that a Corsair A-7 in the back ground?
Absolutely gorgeous sexy 150!!
👍👍🇺🇸. I once had my 1926 pickup truck referred to as cute… ouch.
@Emma, How do we get hold of you for some tailwheel assistance?
Email me at emma@flyingdoodles.com!
👍✅ Tks Emma👏
I'd like to see more of that A-7 Corsair 01:06. We're was this taken?
The A7 in the background is at KDNA Santa Teresa just west of El Paso. They have an incredible warbird museum there, well worth the visit!
👍🏼👍🏻❤️
No LAND-O-MATIC or or OMNI-VISION rear window
Remove the interior plastic to save more weight. Eat fewer hamburgers, too! Ballpark cost for the ferry from Texas?
