Have an IA listen to it if you are still concerned. From what i can hear on the video though it sounds...

I have two Aeronca's a chief and a champ that will need to be recovered in the future. I've been reading alot about this new fabric Oratex. They have a EASA STC for it and working on a FAA STC. I have read it takes around 100 hrs. for a small aircraft like our aeronca's and saves 30lbs.Also is non t...

Paul,

Have you talked to a DAR about this. They should have some experience with this. People de-reg aircraft put in storage. It should not be that hard to re reg.

I have the Aux tank on my Champ and wouldn't want to be without it. It works perfect! Fly for an hour or a little more, transfer fuel to the fwd tank.

Guys,

The bottom line is to deny it one of two thing (moisture or oxygen) remove one and it will never rust. It takes both for corrosion to start.

Dan, The next things i would check is engine timing and then you carburator. check your jets but also your venturi size is correct, 1 1/4 for an A65. also the intake spyder they should both have the same size opening. this is will limit rpm. venturi size is measured at the narrowest point in the thr...

Hi Dan The 42 pitch will help some, RPM is HP ! If you want to climb a smaller pitch prop will let your engine rpm go higher. what static rpm do you have now? you want to get to the high side of the range. Your engine only produces 65 hp at 2300 rpm. With some changes the same engine produce 75 hp m...
