Found some photos I hadn't posted, so instead of deleting the thread, I'll change it!

I love Cubs but let's not forget one of the Cub's chief competitors, the Aeronca Champ!

Nice closups of the Cub, but I'm kinda partial to Champs.

I'll take one of each. PM me for delivery details.

C.G. Taylor designed the Cub for practice, then designed the Taylorcraft.

The Champ was advertised as the anti-cub. Solo from the front seat, wider cockpit, faster, oleo gear instead of bungees. Great vis over the nose. That said, I like all aircraft of that vintage....here's a Tayorcraft - not as nice a photo as Jack's but you get the idea.

Yeah, but the Champ is a L-16 . . . that scheme is more appropriate for a pre-war 65T or 65C.

A wild fantasy of mine would be to own an "L-museum" . . . one flying example of each, L-1 to L-19 . . . plus all of the Civilian Pilot Training Program aircraft and the Glider Trainers.
