Wanting to Purchase a Champ!

[Matthew Strickland]

Hoping to find a few good leads on an Aeronca Champ for sale. I am located in North Carolina but willing to travel for the right airplane. My preference is the 85 hp(I'm 6'3" 275lbs) but I would consider others. Priority will be given to good fabric lower time SMOH/STOH Champs. I'm hoping to find someone here who maybe has been considering selling but just not pulled the trigger yet. I'm turning 50 shortly, 675 hour Instrument rated commercial pilot. Hoping the time I build in this airplane will allow me to transition out of my 30 year insurance selling career into flying for a living. Please Help!!

I have a champ I would sell.  However, it would not meet your criteria.  I'm located in NW Missouri.
