Aeronca Chief

The Chief is a delight to fly. It has been restored to a high standard and flies beautifully, an excellent example of its type. I am building an RV6 so the plane is not being flown enough, and now needs a bigger group to enjoy it and maintain it. The field is in a beautiful part of East Sussex in the Downs, easy to get to and home a small group of friendly flyers.

I am currently building an RV6 and this plane is not being flown enough, it deserves to be flown and seen, a great example of its type.
