Any idea on a time line for the Aeronca Website to purchase placards? I was just about to post a Do anyone know..... post. I am looking for the Do Not Exceed 129 ..... placard and am also needing the throttle plates for front and rear throttle. I have the trim card and the fuel card. Thanks, Terry B.

Hey all, I saw some pictures that DELCOM posted related to covering the airframe. I really like the "Fairing Patches" that are used where the rudder cables exit the fabric. Anyone know where they can be purchased? Don't see them in ASS or Wag-Aero Catalog. Also do they make smaller ones fo...

( I started a master post under restoration about half way down and did this post while half asleep last night)

I purchased (ouch) new brake cables from AS and S and was wondering if anyone has a photograph of how they should be mounted. Mainly looking for which sides of the tubing they should be routed. It looks like either way I run them, they make some contact or are close to the front to rear pedal conect...

Great story board and very useful information. I am nearing the covering stage of my champ and cannot find information about the type and guage of wires from the Mag switch to the Mags. I cannot tell what type wires you have on yours, (I think page 3 of this posting). I see different types in my spr...

Thanks all, in regards to my questions, I have searched and noticed some photos that are helpful. As far as where I am located, Terry Bledsoe Buda Texas (South side of Austin Texas) *Thanks Jeff, you beat me to it. I have the service manual for the L16 as well as for the champ. There is a lot of ver...

Hey all, I decided to make a master post where I would seek assistance and information instead of many different post that may clutter up the pages. I hope this works better for everyone. Currently I am attempting to install all the throttle linkage and having purchased a "basket-case", I ...

I can use most of my interior panels with some clean-up (I am not installing interior over the panels). I am looking for a source for the insert panel that is mounted on the left front panel where the fuel shut-off is and the mag switch. I am trying to restore my champ to origional condition so I wi...

I am getting close to installing my headliner (Airtex) and was looking at the above pictures. I purchased my project in the "bare-bones" state and did not remove the origional one. Is it necessary to install the headliner and incapsulate the wooden formers or can it be installed partially ...
