Vehicle description
1946 Aeronca 7AC Champ SN 7AC 4540 1,656 hours total time on airframe 1,729 hours total time on Continental A65 (Note that the engine DOES have more time than the airframe. The original engine was replaced in the 60s, as per the logbooks)
Complete restoration in 2009 (at 1619 hours on the airframe) included: Engine overhaul including new rings, main bearings, seals Original Eisemann Magnetos completely overhauled New exhaust stacks Stramberg carb overhauled New Sensonich wooden propeller New Poly-Fiber covering New Poly-Dope Total repaint Reupholstered interior with new headliner New windshield New wing struts Much more included in documented restoration This is your basic Champ made for pure fun. No electrical system included. The radio and noise-cancelling headsets you see in the pictures are all battery operated and they go with the sale of the aircraft.
My father bought this Champ in 1993 and gave it to me in 2007 on the condition that I would completely restore it after it had been sitting in his garage for 15 years. We have the full history on the plane and all documents showing its life in WV as a trainer for the Simpson Flying Service of Philipi, WV.
I"m selling because my partner and hero (Dad) is no longer able to enjoy this with me due to health issues.
I welcome all serious inquiries and I"m happy to provide copies of log books that we have since new. Not interested in trades or crazy offers. Aircraft is hangered at Jackson Co Ravenswood Airport (I-18) and is available for inspection with appointment. I"m flying the plane almost every week with current and thorough annual completed on 6/15/17.
