The story behind my 1946 Aeronca Chief, and how we made it the rest of the way home! For Part One: • Buying A Vintage Airpl... Taylorcraft Tim: youtube.com/@taylorcrafttim94...
Funny, while you were trying to go north. I was bringing a C150 from Newfoundland to Ontario. Same smoke from fires in eastern canada. I was stuck in Sept-Iles Quebec for 7 nights. Finally got airborne on the 8th day. Always exciting to take a cross country trip in small a/c, you never know when you will return.
Cool dude! Im at 10C....we got stuck in Chattanooga for two days with snow in Jan 21, ferrying the S19 here from Daytona FL. Good times! Holler if youre ever going to to 10C.
Oh right on! I ran into low ceilings coming home on a flight back in February, actually had to tie the Chief down overnight at 10C! Profile pic is the late Claude’s bird as well. Shoot me a follow on instagram @pete.schnaubelt
Thank you for watching sir and great question. Anytime I am outside the airplane other than starting, magnetos are off and key is VISIBLE on the dashboard. For starting, you turn magnetos on after the engine is primed (engine is turned 5 times with fuel on). I chock both wheels and like to tie down the tail when I am alone for safety.
