1947 VINTAGE AERONCA CHIEF
"A TAIL-DRAGGERS DELIGHT"
Ever think about the things you did when you were a kid? Well some of us
do and that's what made me design this old jewel. CAUTION.....THOSE OF YOU
WITH A NEED FOR SPEED NEED NOT CONSIDER THIS ONE. My very first airplane ride
was in one just like this one. I had to work around the airport cleaning planes
and cutting the grass to earn the $2.00 it cost for a 30 minute ride back then.
Aeronca built a variety of models back in the forties and fifties. They
weren't speed demons, but many people learned how to fly in them. This model
will lift off the runway at very low speed and you might get it to cruise at
about 90 knots. It's very forgiving in the controls department so you really
have to work at makin' it crash. As with most of my creations, if you want to
see the prop, just press the "H" key for carb heat while you're at idle. And
for you nighttime "low and slow" guys, it is equipped with a complete light
package.
Hope everyone is enjoying my hangar full of nostalgia. This ones a real
"tail draggers" delight. Let me know if you have any suggestions for future
planes to do. The feedback I've gotten so far tells me that everyone is getting
pretty good frame rates with the ones I'm doing. If you have problems, please
let me know. I'll be uploading an Ercoupe very soon.
