Post by jc pacquin »

Airplane, in cross wind, with high time instructor went off runway into trees. Need both wings ASAP.airplane located in Western NY State. Would like them covered but that may be too much to hope for. We are not far from Buffalo, , Ohio, etc. We will come get 'em! Awaiting your reply. Many Thanks! JC P.S. Need a strut too!

JC,

It's a log way away but I think Paul Agaliotis may have some wings built up, I think. He is in California.

There seemed to be a guy in Texas that for a long time had Chief and Champ wings built up and ready to sell. He advertised on Ebay and Barnstormers.

Might look there...

American Champion sells new wings - but for the 7AC. Very damn pricey though.

Don't know what it would take to get them onto an 11AC. IIRC, the wings were a common part between the 7AC and 11AC - different struts, though?

don't have the money for newly rebuilt wings. The guy in Texas, while probably VERY good, is also very expensive. Looking for wings off a stopped project, or someone who has a coup[le of used ones lying around. JP
