Combining the highly regarded Bolen tailwheel conversion with a low-hour 180hp Lycoming O-360, VH-RWM delivers performance, capability, and flying characteristics rarely found in a Cessna 150. Light on the controls and exceptionally enjoyable to fly, this aircraft has a remarkably light footprint, making it equally suited to traditional airfields, remote strips, touring, and bush-type operations, while still offering impressive cruise performance. For pilots happy with two seats, VH-RWM offers a combination of performance, short-field capability, and operating flexibility that rivals that of many significantly larger taildraggers. Why This Cessna 150 Taildragger Stands Out Unlike many modified Cessna 150 taildragger aircraft, VH-RWM benefits from an extensive, well-documented maintenance history and significant investment throughout its life. Extensive SIDS compliance completed in 2018 included structural inspections and eddy current testing, replacement wing struts, replacement main landing gear, and replacement of major tail components. Despite its higher airframe hours, this aircraft presents exceptionally well with full logbook history from new and extensive supporting documentation. Rare opportunities exist to purchase a Cessna 150 taildragger of this specification and capability. Genuine enquiries are encouraged.
