I would like to have, and am willing to pay for, an Aeronca 7AC Champion in factory colors. This is the plane I solo’d in at 6.5 hours in 1961, and in all my years of flying is still the one that I enjoy the most. But at 78 years “young” I no longer fly, so would love to do so in MSFS2020! Thanks!
I agree. My grandfather flew this plane.
I used to take my wife on dates in a Champ in the early 70’s. We have been married 51 years!
:o)

There’s a C3.
I also soloed in a Champ in 1951 and it helped to achieve the PPL in 1952. At 87, msfs keeps me flying, in aircraft only dreamed about back in the day.

Yes, I have this. I will be using it to make a video soon.
I also have the GAS Aeronca Champ for FSX. I’ve asked them to port it over to MSFS, but no response. I’m not sure my skills are up to doing it myself.
Side note, Bellanca Air Field still exists roughly 1.5 miles east of KILG. The strip is gone and an Amazon warehouse is in it’s place, but the hangar and offices exist and they’ve been made into a Bellanca museum.
the plant produced approximately 3000 aircraft before closing in 1954.
In another thread @PHSepp796 said this in response to my comment of:
“Now if I could only get someone to make me an Aeronca Champ! :o)”
I have actually contacted by email a few developers who were interested, but it was way down on their list of priorities.
I once used Discord to contact a developer and found Discord to be very confusing/cumbersome for my 81 year old mind. I am wondering if a Discord literate person on this forum would be willing to pick up this challenge and do whatever it takes on Discord to follow up on @PHSepp796 's suggestion for me. I would really be grateful! Thanks for considering.
