Aeronca Champion
Introduction and History
The full-scale Aeronca Champion, or "Champ", was manufactured by the Aeronca Aircraft Corporation, in Middletown, Ohio between 1944 and 1951. Over 10,000 were built. In 1946, it was marketed as "the newest in aerodynamic design! It's the easiest plane you've ever flown." Like the Piper Cub with which it competed, the Champ also featured tandem seating. While the Piper Cub is soloed from the rear seat, the Champ can be soloed from the front seat, giving improved forward visibility on the ground, and during takeoffs, climbs, landings. Although the Aeronca Champ has a wider cabin than the Piper Cub, the Champ's cruise speed was about 15mph faster. Its Continental 65hp engine powered it to a top speed of 100 mph.
