The carb heat and A7 ignition switch on front instrument panel left side add-on, and I left the fuel shut off where it was, log book entry, works for me. Jack

Paul, good advice, think I'll take that road. thanks

Paul, the champ was already placarded "Solo front seat only" I'm going to move the fuel shutoff to the front and make an entry to that effect in the engine log, I've discussed this with a couple AI's I know, and they seem ok with it. I know there are some Champs out there with the engine p...

Was there anything put in the log books about the engine panel moved to the instrument panel? my thinking is these old airplanes still under CAR 4a, but ya gotta be careful what you do. thanks

Has anyone out there have any data/thoughts on moving magneto switch, carb heat cable, and fuel shut off to the instrument panel area where it's at a normal position for the PILOT to operate? I recently bought a 7AC Champ with the carb heat and mag switch (toggle switch's) on the instrument panel, &...

I have a Sensenich metal 76AK-4, dia. 72, pitch 44, approved by Sensenich in PA. the best I can get out of it is 2300 RPM's, I don't know if getting the prop pitched so I can get more RPM's would help, I had a wood 70X40 on it a while back after I overhauled the A65 to a A75, and got a little better...

Thanks for the info, I will have to think on this, as I have a "low time running fine" A75-8 on the front of the champ, but am always thinking of things to do...

Is there such a thing as a Continental 0-200A-8, if so can I install it on my Champ with a STC? I know that they do not come from the factory that way, but can have cover plates installed over the vacuum pump, starter and alternator holes, just checking, got a lead on a 0-200A. Does anyone have this...

yes Paul, the cabin heat, a good flight jacket and gloves do much better in the colder months. optional, that's good to know, thanks. jack

The 1st time I posted this it didn't get posted, so here go's again, "is it required that the USELESS heat muff, heater hose, air inlet and heat box be installed on a champ?" I have seen J3 Cubs with all their heater equipment removed, I have posed this question to some of my IA friends an...

The last post I see on NAABB was on Oct 7th 2015, "Has something happened I missed?" Jack

Just installed a set of wheel pants on my 7AC champ, they look good to me and keep wet grass, bug guts, and other trash off the lift struts and bottom of the wings, just inquiring whats required, and others have done, if anything! after installing them on their aircraft. thanks. 7acjack

I had a old, "real old" scott 2000 on my 7AC champ, and yes it unlocked on me a few times, and last week during a five ship formation takeoff it did it for the last time, today I installed a nice looking API 6131 tail wheel, now maybe I can takeoff without my left heel ready to hit the bra...

the early piper tri pacers PA22 used the same wheels on their main gear, same number too. note: NOT the nose wheel.

Brian, the airpark that i'm located at is not far from highway 351, we have about five IA's in the area, i'm a A&P as are most of the guys that hang out around here, most likely will be smooth sailing there, if your champ parts are ok, i'm covering a Taylorcraft BC12D now, but am almost finished...
