One step closer to Kitfox flight!
While building my Series 7, I bought a recently restored Aeronca Chief to get my rating. I wanted a light sport taildragger and always had a thing for Chiefs.
Today, at about 3:30pm at Lenhardt's Airhaven (7s9), I took a big step and soloed. It was a bumpy day here with thermals sweeping around and changing the winds....at least that is my excuse for a couple of bumpy landings. To balance them out I got an absolute greaser down.
What a feeling to solo!
Can't wait to build many more hours in the Chief while completing the Series 7.
If I noticed a big difference when the instructor hopped out of the 65 hp Chief, I can't wait to see what a Kitfox can do solo!

Wade,
Congrats on the solo! I did the very same thing -
bought an Aeronca 11AC Chief to get my tailwheel
endorsement. I have since sold it but it was a great
airplane that brought me 60+ hours of enjoyment!
