Gary Pilsworth's Piper PA-24 Comanche

If Gary does design a Cessna 150, I would hope that it would be 1959 to 1960 model with the original square tail design rather than the shark fin. They were so much more attractive back then.

No doubt the square tail Cessna 150 is a classic but since very few were made, not too many people know about its existence. I think that perhaps a Cessna 170 or 180 would be a better choice. Any suggestions? By the way, the Cessna 170 is still very popular even more so than the 180/185.

I was just thinking that a lot of people take their first flight in Cessna 150's so it would be a popular design. Also, allows for lots of colour schemes. It fits in well with his Piper aircraft and he already has one Cessna available (the Cessna 337). And there's many Cessna 150's running around jolly old England.

Still, I'm happy with whatever Sir Gary comes up with. I have dozens of his designs on my hard drive that need building.

Indeed, but I suppose most of the people who learned to fly in a Cessna 150, used the swept tail version. And don't forget that Schreiber makes a beautiful rendition of this Cessna, both land and float version. Also a fantastic Piper Super Cub both in 1/24 scale.
