This is my dilemma... Purchase a decent 7AC now but run the risk of it dropping in value (in the near future) due to the medical exemption. If the medical exemption passes I anticipate a decrease in potential old tailwheel (e.g. 7AC) buyers and a lowering of price. As previously stated, it's getting...

Any speculation on how this change will impact the value of the Champs / Chiefs?

Bob, Where did you mount the antenna in the champ?

I believe it's still on Barnstormers.... $22k in Milford Center, Ohio.

Good thread. I would only add that, fortunately, we have a member that represents the non-ambulance chasing lawyer’s guild

Could anyone comment on the handling characteristics of the Chief vs the Champ? I'm curious about the Chief's fuselage tank and its impact on handling...

Hello! I am new to the forum and thought I would “check in.” I currently have a Cessna 150 but I am seriously considering moving to a 7AC (or similar Aeronca LSA). After a couple of grass strip fly-ins this past year, I find the “simpler” flying very appealing. Is there a way to search for members t...
