1946 Aeronca Champ Restoration

For my senior project at Penn College, I chose to recover the fuselage and aid in reassembling this 1946 Aeronca Champ. The airplane was down for almost 3 years and it flew for the first time in March of 2012. It has the original Continental A65 engine and is a blast to fly. This is the process in a few minutes with period music by Frank Sinatra

I learned to fly in a Champ 7FC. It was a blast!

I learned to fly in a 7DC with no electric. What a great airplane!

Beautiful 7AC, looks like she flies like a champ should.
