I will be there camping on Juliette on the flight line.

Anyone is welcome to stop by and say hello.

Jeff, it is mandatory you stop by, got to catch up on your bird.

Give me a ring when you get in. I have the airport secret limo so we can see a lot of planes after hours.

I have a champ with no bounce gear, it is 1350 on the gross weight. However: If you put no bounce gear on and do NOT take the gross weight increase it still keeps the plane in LSA. and of course if they are put on and the gross weight increase IS taken, your done, even if you remove the gear the air...

SOLD two of the nicest guys you ever met. Thanks for allowing me to post here, the champ will be flown by a VERY happy man off his private strip in NY. 1946 AERONCA CHAMP 7AC Conv. 7CCM. 420 SMOH O-200 (100hp) Slick mags, non-electric, L-16 scheme, observation kit, 23 gallon fuel, lightweight start...

Got to love ths site. I will post some links for photos when I get a chance.

I believe the LSA reads that you can add 10% to the 1320 if it goes on floats.
Check the SPA website as there is a lot of info on there.

Thanks Nathan and Mike. I will print the instructions and follow them as well... Mike, as far as what happened: I used a new engine lift to raise it up by the engine mounts near the firewall. All went well, when I was about to leave I thought about if some wind came in the hanger so I put a ladder u...

Has anyone ever changed a front lift strut on a 7ac champ? This will be the first one I have done. Any suggestions or advice on how to change it. I ordered it from univair. The old one was damaged in the hanger while on a lift working on the oleos. :cry: ANY advice would be appreciated.... Thanks in...

Don, I have looked for two years to find a set of 1400's fr my Champ. I ended up buying a husky and putting it on Whip straigtht floats. If you want to sell them, I am your guy. ki@noplans.com If anyone has a champ near Fl on floats, I would like to get some time and see how it performs. I would tra...

I ordered two halves from univair and they sent me the wrong piece for the inside. The part number was incorrect and when I took the wheel off it did not match as well. They say about a 4 month wait on the inner part with the drum. The guys on the phone really are clueless... I called the guy from s...
