1946 Aeronca 7AC LSA qualified 65hp
OK, so I haven't had this plane for a long time.....but hey the wife is giving me a hard time about this plane and my other two. So...instead of suffering for what Nathan refers to as AIDS, I told her I would list it and see what happen.
If anyone is looking for a nice flying 1946 7ac (LSA) wt 747.5 lbs this is it!
The plane had an annual done in Jan 2007 and at that time the hours were: 6730.4 TTAF and 1088.45 SMOH It has a long history with the Texas Air Mus. based out of Rio Hondo, TX
I obtained this plane from a guy in Lake Elmo, MN and flew it back to Alabama without any problems. 13 hours total flying time. This plane flys hands off. Since getting it in December, I have replaced the flying wires, rebuilt the oleos and have a new windshield for it The B-16 compass was also just rebuilt. The current glass has a small crack that has been repaired some time ago. This does not effect the windshield, just looks like a band-aid.
I bought this plane to build tail wheel time in and figured that I would just fly this thing for several years and not do anything to it. Well, I'm the tinkering type and I find myself wanting to work on this and that to improve the cosmetics instead of flying. I either need to buy a true project and build it the way it should be done or find a flying plane that does not need anything. The plane is painted olive green with grey bottoms. It has enough inspection plates on the wings to choke a cow, so anyone who wants to get a good look at the wing can do so.
If you are wanting a show plane, this is not your ticket. If you want a plane to fly, and enjoy building some time, as cheap as possible, then this might be your baby.
The plane is located just south of Birmingham, AL I would be glad to forward pictures if need be.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hey Nathan,
That is what we have planned. As of last night, we have three planes that are committed. We are striving for a gagle of planes to make the trip over. We should arrive around 8:30 or 9:00AM
Hope to see you there!
