Cessna 150 STC questions, Cont. IO-240?
Couple of questions guys and girls.
There may be a C150 in my future.
Basically to put around and maybe get SWMBO her Private.
Since adequate isn’t good enough I’d like to know if there are any STC’s out there to fit a Continental IO-240?
Yes the engine out of the DA20-C1 which impressed me.
Still looking at 4-4.5 gallons/hr fuel burn and with a nicely cut prop it should perform nicely.
All the other conversions out there burn stupid fuel or basically make it a one person plane due to weight increase.

Found a REALLY old link:
IO-240 Continental engine
Not much information though.
Why not just find a square tail C-172 and not worry about mods?

Because I hate 172’s with a vengeance and don’t care to ever fly one again in my life.
Always liked the 150 better then the 152. Just a cute little airplane without a mean bolt in its body.
172....you might as well have taken a leak in my beer.....
And SWMBO can’t fly a 172 as she’s a little vertically challenged
Thanks for the link but I’d found that one already and it’s pretty much useless non info.
