Have you guys ever seen this before? I was looking through youtube videos and came across this.

Here's the link if the above video isn't working.

There was one for sale on Alaskaslist a while back. Might be the same one.

There actually not a bad floatplane, with 150-160hp, big flaps big baggage area doors on both sides, they have there upsides. I'd guess this ones engined up seeing as it actually got off the water.

The video says this one has a "standard land prop" whatever that is, and an O-200.

Hey its got wing extensions!!! Probably pretty low on my 150 mod list would be wingX... I bet a 150 150 with wing x and a sportsman would be a fun plane.

Does the Wing-X raise the max gross? I'd think a floated 150 would be severely useful load limited so perhaps that's the primary reason in this case.

Spent a lot of time in one of those slugs in early 70's on Lake Hood. Ken Rowntree owner of Big Reds Flying service had one that I gave float ratings in. C150-150 on EDO 2000 floats that leaked so bad if we taxied the length of the lake hood for take off.... had to stop and pump floats again before take off Most of the time the only thing that would get it in the air was curvature of the earth But built a lot of float time and developed a feel that only comes with under powered planes Stepping stone to bigger things.......... Don't think u could put one on floats with 0200 eng.

I don't think so. You get a good look at the trailing edge of the wing as the airplane goes by the cameraman-- the ailerons go all the way to the wingtips, no un-tapered or un-aileron'd section of wing that I can see.
For some reason 150 wings just look long. When I had my C150TD, a guy came up to me and asked if I had 172 wings on it. Being the honest guy I am, I told him yes I did.

Oh there are definitely extensions on there. I would not have noticed but one of his other videos is labeled "Cessna 150 with Wing Extensions (takeoff and landing)"

I wonder what kind of extensions those are? I don't see anything about 150s on the wing-x site.

If it was in Alaska (not clear to me where it was), that would explain it. I think there are a lot of "rules" which are ignored if not openly flaunted there, at least from my observations back when I was stationed there in the 70s.

In the videos available after that float 150, there is a stol 150, the red and white one. I know about that one, 180 lyc and a stol kit. Never had it on floats but it sure would perform.

Wing extensions didn't seem to do much for the takeoff
