Dave,

No pre-war stuff, but I do have the 1946 Chief POH, Service Mannual, and Parts Catalog in PDF.

If you want a copy, shoot me an email....

Nate,

Any idea why there was a POH for the Chief but not the Champ?

Well lets see........

Champ pilots know how to fly?
Chief Pilots are "book smart"?
This could go on and on.....

Honestly I don't know why.

The POH for the Chief is not a legal POH is why!

The closest that we ever got was the manual for the L-16 which was produced by Aeronca only because the US Army mandated it.

There has never been a legal POH for either the 7 or 11 series produced by the factory. Only thing out there is what is on the type certificate data sheet and that is placards only.

PS moving this to the correct section, pre-war Aeronca's to get more viewing.

Dave,

The closest thing I have found is the list of drawings for the 65CA. Check out this link: http://aeronca.com/dwgs/.

I believe Henry Crowder (405) 262-5191 may be able to help you.l Rod

Dan,

Have you been in contact with Mr. Gores? Wondering if he is still active with the Aeronca community.

I spoke with Mr. Gores about 2 years ago, on the phone, about some pre-war issues.
At that time, he seemed to be feeling his age, but was nice to talk to on the phone, and chock full of tidbits of info.

I have not been in contact with William Gores in a few years. I just checked the FAA registary and He still has 5 CA's or LB's registered to him.
