Lucy meets another Aeronca Chief!

Lucy comes down off the rack for Spring and makes a new friend... Max's red and white 1946 Chief!

I’ve watched many of Max’s fine videos. It was a pleasant surprise to see him in this episode.

@@ralphstrahm4429 It was nice to meet him! Hopefully I’ll get down south one of these days to see his Chief again 😄

[@HeavyMetalHorizons]

Ahh! It’s a great 150!

[@FailureatRetirement]

Nice

I liked the blue '41 better. !!!

[@trustyaeronaut]

Haha! I’m partial to the 41 as well, but the 46 was a pretty nice example of a post war Chief!

[@gymshoe8862]

At least give us a hint at a couple of differences--I'm curious!

[@trustyaeronaut]

I don’t even know all the differences yet! 😂 I didn’t have much time to visit with Max and his Chief. The wings are significantly different, the rudder is the easiest way to spot a pre-war vs post-war Chief. The back window is larger, the struts are different, the fuselage bracing behind the windscreen is different. I suspect the control travel on the yoke is different. One of these days I’ll get a chance to do a proper side by side comparison, but who knows when that might be! 🤣
