    Which model Cessna?

    G'Day All,
    Just received my latest eHotline and was wondering;
    Is the red and white Cessna heading the email an early C180, or a taildragger converted C150?

    I've often thought of doing a tailwheel conversion to an early 'high back' 150, then fitting a Jabiru 3300 (6) to give it the right sound as well...

    it looks very converted 150-like to me, but I am welcome to standing corrected by more knowledgeable pilots.

    That certainly appears to be a Texas Taildragger C-150 -- a relatively early model because that looks like a straight tail. It's definitely not a C-180 or 185.
