Okay, so I guess it is time for me to also say I am some what new to this site and have been following many conversations. I am in the restoration of a 1947 L-16A. I hope to have it finished in 2014, been working on it for the past ten years off an on. I have finished two other experimental planes during this time. I am now flying a Rans S-7 that I finished in 2011, love the plane. I had a 1946 7BCM that I was flying for 5 years while I built the Rans. The 7BCM was a great little plane, always true to me, no surprises, a great flying machine.

If there are any others out their who have or have restored a TRUE L-16 I would love to exchange some info.

Thanks for the info I have gleamed so far from this group.

Glad to hear another L-16 is going to be in the air. A friend who frequents the NAA Forum has restored several L-16's and has a one or two projects for sale. William Chappel can probably answer all your questions. I will find his email and send it to you.

[Rich Dugger]

Welcome, Jim.

[craig debban]

Jim,
Welcome to the group.I know you'll enjoy it here.
I'd love to hear about you experience with the Rans vs the 7AC. The Rans was on my list of maybe by it aircraft until I found the Champ.

Another Sean, from Dallas no less!  Congrats on your new plane, Sean.

Craig, looks like we need to plan a flight to Middletown!

Thanks Shaun and Happy New Year!

Are you in North Texas also?

I was, until about 6 months ago, then I came out to San Diego, which, despite being bereft of grass fields to land the Champ on, is still absolute paradise.

Make sure that you join the dfw pilots forum if you haven't already.  And go visit Walt at T14.  He's an incredible guy who refurbished a cool grass strip in Quinlan (http://www.t14airport.com/).  He's there most weekends, but you can coordinate with him on the forum if you want to make sure he'll be there.

Welcome Jim. You;re among friends. Ask any question and someone will answer.

The Champ is a great plane, I owned and flew a 1946 7ac converted to a 7BCM for 5 yers while I was building the Rans S7. There are a lot of similarities to both planes, both react the same way with inputs, the Rans just reacts twice as fast as the champ. Ground handling on both are good, the Raans feels more solid and firm during take off and landings. I never quite felt 100% firm with strong crosswinds in the champ, I felt that I was working way to hard to keep it straight. The Rans is very solid and responsive in this area, once planted in either wheel or three point I always feel in control. Climb in the rans on an average day in Pa. is 1000-1200 fpm. Cruse at 5200rpm is 108mph, 5500rpm is 115mph. Stall in landing configuration with VG's is 32mph, wing will not stall with full power on. Love the plane, after the L-16A I will be building a Kitfox SS7

[Rich Dugger]

FWIW my neighbor has a brand new Rans S& with the Jabiru 120 HP for sale.
It has about 5 hours on it.

Just in case you know anyone looking for one.

 

Rich

 

[Jim Haunstein]

Soooooo, why is he selling it?

[Rich Dugger]

Other neighbor started building it, got Alzheimer's and moved out of state.

My IA neighbor finished it up and the original owner transferred ownership  to IA with the stipulation that if he sold it he wanted half the proceeds from the sale.
IA is not a tail dragger pilot. And isn’t gonna become one.

(Owns a Bellanca)

So that is why it is for sale.

I can put you in touch.

Left front panel needs to be secured some how but I can not find any drawings on this area, any photos or info would be appriacated. This is in an L-16 however any 7Ac--7BCM  would be the same.

EVERYONE.....

There were ELEVEN "Aeronca mailing list announcements" on the bottom of this email.

Please DO NOT just forward or answer emails without checking on the end of the email.

Please CLIP these posts to the forum.

Its filling up the Westmont.edu's hard drives with data that is not needed.

Come-on folks, lets be responsible adults and pilots and help John keep the hard drives
available for important things, not ELEVEN copies of something we need only one of...

My bad. I noticed that right after I hit the "send" button.
Late at night.
I got complacent.

Rich,

You were in good company and there are a lot of others "helping" with this, so please do not
feel alone!

BTW I just posted something on the NAA's facebook page about a gent in San Antonio
selling a Champ and flagged it for you. If you or anyone else in the area is looking for an
Aeronca...

Take care,

Joe A
