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?
3799
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.

Profiles of windshield & cowl top and the short fuselage says its a converted 150 taildragger

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.
