You are harming your video with crappy music--stick with the flying.

35 rotate WHAT?

Hey I will trade you my 1954 E for that

Is it still available? Exactly what I’m looking for.

Did you end up selling this

Man if I lived some where density altitude wasn’t all ways a problem I’d buy a fat tire champ too

This is a such a great example of the kind of Champ you want to buy. It's in annual, it's got a low time engine and it's been flown regularly. Bingo.

I would buy it in a heartbeat if I could get it to Canada

I dearly wish I could buy this airplane. It is the type I learned to fly as a teenager in country with huge amounts of open farm and pasture land and NO control zones. On some summer days only me and some cruising buzzards had the whole sky to ourselves. The regular buzzards always gave way to the bigger "buzzard" if I got too close. (Those critters are truly ugly.) Bare minimum instruments. No radio, no artificial horizon or rate of climb/descent. No lights. No cabin heat. Did have air speed, engine speed, oil pressure/temp, altimeter, small 65 horse engine, climbing speed = 65 mph, cruising = 70, diving speed = 75, stalling speed about 45 to 50 mph (about. Was too busy with the landings to remember) Had a compass which was never sure which way was north. Could watch it vibrate in slow complete circles while I flew in a straight line. (I followed the highways below for navigation.) My father created a beautiful, well graded grass strip on one of his farms 3 miles south from our small gulf coast area town. About 1/2 mile long, north and south. Shared it with a local crop duster (licensed instructor) who taught my dad, brother in law, and me to fly. Flying came naturally to us three since we were very mechanically oriented. For me, as easy as riding a bicycle. Loved that "joy" stick, never cared for a "steering" wheel in a small airplane. Would you believe, (this was in the late 1950s), the student pilot license required only 10 hours of flying training and a 10 question true/false exam?! Good for 2 (renewable) years. General pilot license required a 100 true/false question exam. Also, needed a 3rd Class Medical certificate from a doctor. (I'm healthy and can see colors.) Those cowboys of the air crop dusters were my flying heroes who spread our rice seed and fertilizers. These guys flew low and fast. My father chided one duster pilot for flying so low that his landing gear had the tops of cotton stalks stuck in the landing gear. The pilot liked to hear the plants thumping against his tires so he knew he was flying as low as possible when spraying defoliant on cotton plants. In our open countryside, these guys hardly ever flew cross country higher than a couple of hundred feet. (Lots of gravel roads for emergency landings.) These were glorious and thrill saturated times for a teenager, all alone in the summer sky with puffy clouds above and the patchwork farmlands below. My most memorable experience happened while returning home on the 3rd leg of my required 2nd cross country solo. I was flying along Highway 59 when one of those fat, dense coastal rain clouds was right in my path. I could not go around, could not climb fast enough to get above, so had to go under it. Now, flying with no artificial horizon so near to ground with no visual contact is suicidal risky. Going under the cloud was my only option so I could maintain visual contact with the ground. I dropped down to 1,000 feet. Cloud density was quickly increasing, so I dropped (cautiously) to 500 feet till I see enough of the earth below to stay oriented. As fortune would have it, I was also passing dead center over main street of a small town on my path so I could not get too low in case a radio tower might meet my small plane. I distinctly remember thinking that if I don't get this plane back home in one piece, my father was going to be really upset with me. Otherwise, this was quite the thrill for adventurous me, rain beating against the plexiglass windshield, black rain cloud brushing my head and city buildings brushing my feet (figuratively). (Note: My mental makeup never allowed me to panic in any situation. Instead, my thinking would become clear, focused, and stimulated by a burst of adrenaline resulting in fast reaction time.) In today's crowded, highly controlled air world, my open range teenage adventures would be hard to come by. The farmland with the air strip has been long sold out of the family. The private strip is still on aeronautical maps, and a much expanded crop dusting operation lives there run by unrelated owners.

nice plane we had one of these for years great for puttin around the country side, wish you the best and the price is right on

fly up kmvn for the lsa show its about a hour north east, nice resturant sep 7th thanks ,,,dan

pretty airplane and pretty girl, you better hang on to both, my wife loves to fly my buddies are so envious their wives wont fly with them

What kind of gas does these champs take, do they need auto gas or can you get by with 100LL?

Petit Jean State Park in Arkansas has some very nice fly-in campsites. Taxi up to your campsite. Runway 6000 feet i think. Paved. Fuel.

Dude, Fisher, if we weren't about to finish a C-90 Champ, maybe ;)

I got my ppl last year in a PA28-180. I’ve always wanted to fly high wing airplanes. Just got checked out in a C172SP. I want so bad to fly tandem tail wheel airplanes. Thx for the video! 😃🤙🏻

A 1946 Aeronca Champ is just special PERIOD! What a wonderful plane. I'd stick to your price as 25K is cheap for a classic like this.

Sheilded ignition?

Are you related to the Trowbridges of Wayne, Illinois? They were an airplane family, too....

If you want a quick sale. I’m all in at $14,000 if everything checks out.

That is a nice looking, original Champ. I also had to give up a 50% share in one recently so I could expand my business. Hoping to get back into flying sooner rather than later. I hope your new career works out for you.

Over priced by several times what its worth.

Sad to see you selling your plane but excited for your future! Good luck man!

What's the forward kick, in the starting process, supposed to achieve?

What are you using for cockpit audio? Looking to do the same for my champ videos.

Awesome page love the videos, I have a Citabria and I am doing a lot of the same flight you are. I am out of east central Arkansas so not too far away.

It was different going from a Comanche 260 that would climb at 1500 fpm @ 100mph to a Champ. It was a bit startling. Between not having a mixture knob and that low climb rate, I learned that "low and slow" was pretty much mandatory. I loved every minute of it.

New Champ owner/flyer here. Interested in how you have your radio and antenna run. I'm also local to the west TN area.

nice rightr on o also own a 48 champ

I like your airplane. I soloed in a Piper PA-18. Also flew Aeronca 7AC Champ. - all the good stuff

Nice looking Champ from one owner to another and nice videos! Best kind of flying there is! You should try and fly up to Middletown, OH for the National Aeronca Convention this summer June 15-18. It is a nice opportunity to see all the Champs, Chiefs and even rarer Airnockers.

less selfie more flying footage pls

Thank you for sharing your adventures with those of us without wings Blessings Keep the blue side up

My Champ doesn't turn well either. AND my brakes suck... LOL Love it though! Been fishing there before but never landed there. Thanks!

Hey Fisher how are those tires holding up on the pavement??? I have a Champ with Alaskan 18's, love em but was always wondering about screwing them up on asphalt since i'm on a grass field..

We`ve taken many trips to Realfoot to get in some eagle watching, thanks for sharing. Just finishing up my Annual and looking for someplace to fly. Pick a place and we`ll meet up. F.Y.I. Fayette County Airport (KFYE) starts its first Thursday of the month Lunches again beginning on April 6th. Oh BTW, Groovy music, lol

Nice Airknocker...My Great Uncle had one just like it. Many happy memories formed in that little ship.

Congratulations on the Commercial Cert Fisher !! Keep the videos coming !!

Your plane is cute, your girlfriend is cuter. Congratulations on getting your Commercial rating, next is ATP. Airplane dates are fun. My wife and I are now doing them in our Arrow but we are old, it is more fun at your age. Go on a camping trip.

It's a Champ for gods sake. It does not need better brakes, VGs or flaps. It will already go super slow and fly great. Leave the poor thing alone and just fly it.

Nice video. Your river looks like its back up pretty good. The river I usually fly has came up 6ft in the last 2 weeks so no sand bars. I did go to the Mississippi today and there are a few left over there. Someday I want to come down and fly some of your sandbars with you. I have to get down and see Tim and Cory......

Hey man how much for yr Pawnee? Where is it located? Is it on barnstormers?

👀 ƤＲＯ𝓂Ｏ𝕤ᗰ

Thanks again for taking us along! Airline guys usually enjoy seeing people like yourself enjoy the real flying. Also makes us remember why we love it too!

Love the content! Your Champ is almost identical to mine inside and out so it’s great to live vicariously thru your videos when I’m not flying myself. Good stuff 👍

Thanks for the Video, Now Dexter is on my List of Local Stops.

great job from one champ owner to another

beautiful airplane.. we are fortunate, here in Goodyear AZ to have two world class restaurants... TJs for a traditional American breakfast.. and the best biscuits and gravy this side of heaven.. and Raul and Theresa's Mexican food... I ran into the place for lunch about 50 years ago on my way through... moved here so I don't have too far to go... the airport is right across the street if y'all need some good food... c'mon over home of the Blimp... occasionally
