JOhn,

Its not as critical on grass but hard surface you will really see and feel a difference.

Have fun with the plane!

I will find out today. I am going up with a friend of mine that is an instructor. I figured a few hours of dual in a new plane can't hurt. Thanks, John

Well everything went great yesterday with the instructor. we have determined that my airspeed indicator is off about 8-10 mph. when it reads 60 we are actually doing 70. but it landed great on asphalt with the 13 lbs in the tires, and these things slip to landing awesome! I think I am an aeronca owner for life now. I love it. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks, I don't think I can make middleton but will sure try. I drive truck over the road and am sometimes gone on the weekends.

Then stop by Thursday or Friday. Its well worth making as its held only every couple of years. Largest collection of Aeronca's anywhere in the world at one time.
