This 1965 Cessna 150E (N3966U) represents a highly modified trainer conversion with several performance-enhancing STCs. The airframe shows 1,525 total hours with a Lycoming O-320-E2D engine producing 150 horsepower (1,240 hours SMOH) and a McCauley 1C172 propeller with 365 hours SPOH. Notable modifications include the Texas Taildragger conventional gear conversion, increased gross weight to 1,760 lbs, and extended-range 40-gallon fuel tanks. The aircraft carries a useful load of 561 lbs in its current configuration.

Avionics include a Bendix King KX-155 COM, Garmin/Apollo GX60 GPS/COM, Bendix King KI209 VOR/LOC/Glideslope, and uAvionix TailBeacon ADS-B Out for modern airspace compliance. The airframe is described as solid with all ADs complied, though logbooks are missing prior to 2012. Exterior condition shows functional paint with good aluminum skin, while the interior presents as serviceable but could benefit from refurbishment. The aircraft is VFR-equipped with shoulder harnesses and features 8.00x6 main tires with a Scott 3200 tailwheel assembly. Additional details and media are available through the seller's dedicated listing page.
