Restored Aeronca 11ACS Super Chief
This aircraft arrived under a ferry permit with very high oil consumption, terrible fabric and finish (duct tape in places), no interior, bad leading edges, etc.. This picture doesn't do it justice. It's a beautiful aircraft inside and out and was one of our float trainers. 3 pilots now use it as their club seaplane. We rebuilt the wings with new spars, added vortex generators, made repairs to the fuselage / airframe, built and installed a C85 with the STC allowing the use of an O200 crank and rods, new interior and windshield / windows, and installed a Becker Com and Xponder, starter, battery system with, powder coated control wheels and instrument panel. Based at Argyle or on floats on the Hudson River.
