| N24286, 1940 Aeronca Chief (65-LA). |
Last year we focused on the airframe and installed a new windscreen. This year the focus was on the powerplant. All engine gaskets were replaced, all engine tolerances adjusted to factory spec, all engine mounts replaced, all components inspected and cleaned, sandblasted the heads, cleaned re-gapped plugs, replaced old SCAT tubing. We also installed new exhaust manifolds.
So next I'll tackle the cowling and interior. Hopefully I can find a good provider of soft aluminum and someone with skill on an English wheel to make up a new cowling, and see if Airtex even has an interior kit for this model Chief.
